Let me introduce you to MICHAEL KORS!

Ok so I usually do not give a whole post to just talking about a designer, however I found it necessary to do so in the fact that not only is Michael Kors one of my all time favorite designers but I recently had the pleasure to meet his mother, Joan Kors. His achievements alone make him one of the greatest designers in my eyes but truth be told I consider him to be one of the greatest because of his impeccable eye for detail and design. Starting at the rip age of 4 helping reconstruct his mother's wedding dress it was destined that he would one day have his own collection. This Long Island native began his namesake label in 1981 and within thirty years has turned his name into a power house brand in the American fashion landscape. After serving as the designer and then creative director from 1997 to 2003 for the house Celine and winning the CFDA Award for Womenswear Designer of the Year in 1999 for his Michael Kors Collection he was ready to venture completely on his own. All of this had upped his standing in the fashion world—and being a smart business man he capitalized on this by launching a full-fledged accessories line in 2001, a men’s collection in 2002, and sportswear line Michael Michael Kors in 2004. With flagship stores in most major cities, popular fragrance and home lines. He has clearly made his mark by becoming a globally recognized brand, targeting many different target markets. He has something for everyone from his Michael Kors runway collections, ranging from $700 to $3,000 to MICHAEL Michael Kors, which includes handbags, shoes, and women's ready to wear and KORS Michael Kors, which includes footwear and denim.

His runway collections never fall short to "wow" the fashion industry year after year. Most recently he received the lifetime achievement award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2010 along side hitting $100 Billion in sales this year.

Now, you could imagine when I had heard Joan Kors would be coming to the store the first thing that came to mind was what am I going to wear. So of course I immediatley ran to my closet and pulled out my favorite piece in my wardrobe. None other than my Michael Kors deep raspberry printed sheath dress worn with nothing less than my classic black leather Christian Louboutin pumps accompanied by my diamond earrings and fabulous diamond cocktail ring to top it off. This sheath dress is from his Fall 2009 Collection and its still just as fabulous as it was back than as it is today. That is one of the many reasons why I love Michael Kors's collections, every piece is timeless. He really understands a woman's body and how to really accentuate their best assets. Each piece is designed impeccably and what is even better is that his designs are not limited to a woman with a small frame his sizes range from 0 to 14. Thus, if you are the working woman having a Michael Kors sheath dress is a must have in your wardrobe. It can be compared to wearing a power suit, I promise as soon as you slip on one of his sheath dresses you will understand what I am talking about! Michelle Obama is a big supporter of the Michael Kors sheath dress you can catch her in his designs often when she goes on speaking engagements, hence the fact that it is the ultimate power dress! Not only did she chose to wear a Michael Kors dress for her Official White House picture she additionally wore it for the front cover of the "O, The Oprah Magazine".
