The Monday Piece - Michael Kors

The subject of today's Monday's Piece is the designer Michael Kors. Kors is an American fashion designer who was born in New York, he is famous for designing classic American sportswear. He has been designing clothes since his teens and has won many accolades as a result of his fantastic designs, his profile was raised when he became designer and creative director of fashion house Celine, who are famous for their clean lines and simple styling. He left Celine to focus on his own ever popular line, featuring ready to wear fashion, shoes, handbags and accessories. He now has many boutiques across the United States, as well as stocking lines in upmarket stores worldwide such as Selfridges and Harrods. His lines vary in design and price, the Kors Michael Kors and Michael by Michael Kors lines are some of his more popular - prices vary from around £75 for a small leather item to roughly £500, though quality and value are always guaranteed. Kors is now a household name after featuring on multiple series on Project Runway, a show that features new fashion designers and showcases their talent. Additionally he has a strong celebrity clientele with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum and Michelle Obama all wearing his designs. Below are pictures of his Spring/Summer 2012 campaign featuring classic safari and animal print styles, and two of my favourite handbags from the Summer collection (available to buy at Selfridges).I'm lucky enough to own one of his handbags, the quality is fantastic and the design is so simple, classic and timeless.
