Michael Kors’s Success Story

Among all the fashion brands in the world, the story of Michael Kors embodies one of the biggest ones. Although being this big and influential today Michael Kors started with just a kid named Karl Anderson. Karl Anderson grew up in Long Island, New York and did child modelling in popular commercial products. When he was 5 years old her mother divorced and married a businessman, Bill Kors. His mother asked him if he wants a different first name and changed his name to Michael David Kors. Michael Kors was loved to read about fashion and shopping. He started making clothes at a very young age, 11. He built himself a little business in his basement and called it Icon Butterfly. He was selling his garments to his family and friends.

When 19 years old Michael Kors moved to New York and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology. While still going to school he worked at a famous boutique called Lothar’s on west 57th street. After only 9 months he left the school and started to design and sell his own garments in Lothar’s. After 3 years his designs caught people’s eyes and he opened his own fashion line called Michael Kors Women's Collection. His collections were sold in high-end departments stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale and Bergdorf Goodman.

Michael Kors convinced the fashion editor of New York Magazine to take a look at his designs and showed his collection laid on his bed in his apartment. He started his career with this kind of humble things. Soon after that in 1984, Michael Kors had his first fashion collection. With this show, his designs became recognizable by celebrities and made him one of the top fashion designers who make both men and women ready to wear clothes.

In 1990 Michael Kors’s brand faced some financial issues because of production issues in Italy. Because of that brand lost about 20 stores nationally. In 1997 LVMH, a big corporation brand invested in the brand and hired Michael Kors for another brand that they own called Celine. He worked at Celine for 6 years and in that period he turned Celine around with his unique and exceptionally beautiful designs. In 2004 he left the job at Celine and built his brand independently. In that year he also launched low priced products because of the recession.
