At the center of it all is a designer who has created an enduring and iconic luxury lifestyle brand with a distinctive point of view and global reach. Michael Kors has a sharp focus on providing his customers with accessories and clothes that are consistently polished, chic, relaxed, and glamorous. Kors has also been the recipient of numerous industry awards and accolades within the fashion industry.

The fashion designer also focuses on giving back. For more than 35 years he has been a passionate supporter of God's Love We Deliver, a New York-based non-profit organization that cooks and delivers nutritious meals to people living with serious illnesses in and around New York City. In 2013, in a move to broaden his philanthropic efforts, Michael Kors launched "Watch Hunger Stop," partnering with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to help fight world hunger. Proceeds from annual special-edition products and other targeted initiatives help provide food to children through WFP's school meals program. To date, Michael Kors has helped WFP deliver over 35 million meals (and counting) to hungry children.
