In the 1980s in New York, Michael Kors began a line for Lothar’s in Manhattan. He immediately began to draw customers in and soon the press took notice. He branched out in 1981 to launch his own brand and in 1983 his talent was recognized with the First American Original award from Dupont, the first of many he would receive. His focus was on ready-to-wear clothing that incorporates accessories and swimwear in a manner that they all work in unison.
In 2001 he launched a men’s line which also incorporated accessories as well as a full-scale line of clothing. In 2004 timepieces for both men and women were included in the mix with the Michael Michael Kors launch.
