After beginning his career at age 19 designing for Lothar’s, a New York fashion boutique, Michael Kors formed his namesake label two years later in 1981. Since the company’s inception, he has remained true to his vision of luxurious sportswear for the jet-set lifestyle. This year, Michael Kors celebrates 30 years in business. Through his distinct approach, the Michael Kors name has become synonymous with timeless luxury, pragmatic glamour and a modern point of view in both ready to wear and accessories.

These momentous accomplishments – a career spanning over three decades, a milestone show and an expanding retail footprint – will culminate in Paris, the perfect platform to celebrate Michael Kors’ 30th Anniversary. Kors holds a longstanding affinity for this fashion capital, having spent seven years as the Creative Director of Celine in Paris. Paris will be the site of a new Michael Kors Flagship retail location at 279 rue Saint Honoré, also scheduled to open by April 2011. The 7,000 sq. ft. Paris Flagship will be the fashion house’s first freestanding retail location in France and the largest Michael Kors store in the world. The Paris Flagship will carry a diverse range of products from the Michael Kors Collection, KORS Michael Kors and MICHAEL Michael Kors labels.
