Michael Kors is one of the must-have brands of the moment, and with Spring arriving at last, now is the perfect time to pick up some on-trend shades from the Michael Kors collection, new to SmartBuyGlasses this season!
Michael Kors started his label back in 1981, shortly after dropping out of New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. He enjoyed early success, with his trendy yet accessible designs for women being worn by some of the highest profile actresses of the time, including Demi Moore and Julia Roberts.
However, Kors didn’t have it all his own way. In 1993 he had to file for bankruptcy after his Italian investors went bust. Kors himself often reflects on this period as a low point in his career, since he even had to discontinue the Michael Kors brand for a time.
Despite this, Kors was able to bounce back. He worked as a fashion director for French fashion house Céline whilst masterminding his comeback, and by the mid-90s he was back on track, having shifted focus to more casual, sporty collections. These new ready-to-wear collections became hugely popular with a whole new generation of women, and this success lead Kors to diversify, launching a menswear collection in 1997, and moving into the fragrance and accessories market.
Michael Kors’ philosophy has always been practicality first, and his unwavering belief that all women should be able to enjoy his designs, has led to him becoming one of the most popular and respected figures in the world today. As Kors himself once put it: “luxury sportswear is as much about practicality as it is about indulgence… Comfort and flexibility are what matter most to a woman today, no matter who she is or how much she can afford to spend on her wardrobe.”
The Michael Kors eyewear collection echoes this idea of stylish simplicity, offering a variety of classic frames styles for both sunglasses and eyeglasses that are at once subtle and elegant. Some of the most popular sunglasses models include the KATE oversized frames and the ALGARVE Polarized Frames, whilst the eyeglasses collection has plenty of smart and sophisticated frame types to choose from.
