Michael Kors is the all-American designer whose collections are a byword for uptown chic, and whose customers include the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Aerin Lauder, Lauren Hutton and Renee Russo. Kors launched his line in 1981, and his uber-luxe, meticulously tailored sportswear instantly caught the attention of the international press and buyers alike. "For me, fashion consists above all of designing clothing that women really want to wear," says Kors. His luxurious collections-both consistently wearable and utterly desirable-are a testament to his philosophy.
