From Gilt.com: "New York-native Michael Kors launched his label in 1981 and 27 years later he is considered the leading American fashion designer for luxury accessories and sportswear. Kors is known for his luxe, jet-set attitude and chic, polished, sophisticated pieces. His honors include two CFDA awards, (one each for menswear and womenswear), an Elle Cadillac Fashion Award for excellence and Dupont’s first American Original Award. In addition, Vogue magazine referred to Kors as 'one of the most influential designers of the decade,' an honor that's not only a testament to his talent but one of the many reasons why he currently serves as a judge on the Emmy nominated series Project Runway."

"Michael Kors flagship boutiques are peppered around the U.S. with locations on Madison Avenue and Rodeo Drive as well as international stores in Hong Kong and Dubai. Actresses like Anjelica Houston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rene Russo favor designs by Michael Kors and his collections are an exciting and fresh addition to Gilt Groupe."
