Michael by Michael Kors

Well-known American fashion designer who launched his own line in 1981 after attending the Fashion Institute of Technology. Kors is also a judge on the popular Bravo reality show Project Runway.

Michael (sometimes listed as Michael Kors) was introduced in 2000, followed by Michael for Men in 2001. Other fragrances include Notes from Michael (Houndstooth, Glen Plaid, Tattersall; 2001), Kors (2003) and Island (2005).

Estee Lauder held the Michael Kors fragrance license from 2003, when it was purchased from LVMH, until 2021. In mid 2021 the license moved to EuroItalia.
