Brand intelligence

Michael Kors

Michael Kors is the New York luxury lifestyle label founded by Michael Kors in 1981. Its offer includes ready-to-wear, accessories, footwear, handbags, watches, jewellery, eyewear, fragrance and menswear, built around an American sportswear vocabulary and global retail presence. Michael Kors remains Founder and Chief Creative Officer. In February 2025, Philippa Newman became Chief Brand and Product Officer, bringing product and marketing together in a defined executive mandate after a long career at the company. The page distinguishes those complementary responsibilities and does not label a product or commercial leader as the house’s creative director. Michael Kors is part of Capri Holdings; parent-company reporting is not automatically attributed to the Michael Kors brand alone.
