They want to know they look good—no matter where they are, what they are doing, or what kind of shape they’re in.” (Excerpt from FragrancX.com)

Kors learned all about what a woman wants in clothing from his own mother. When he was growing up in Long Island, Michael Kors' mother took him along on her frequent forays into shopping. By the time he was ten, the young Michael Kors was designing vests and T-shirts for the girls who lived in his neighborhood. While his mother had hoped he would go into show business, Kors' talent for fashion was evident early on.
