Michael Kors Watches – An Investment Brand

When you read about the history of many high profile fashion designers, you may often find that a career in the fashion industry was not what they originally intended to embark upon professionally. However for luxury designer Michael Kors, this was certainly not the case as his fashion was always an obvious career path due to him being brought up in a family of style addicts!

The designer who is from New York isn’t shy about admitting that most of his immediate family share his passion for fashion and that this was instilled in him from an early age. The designer’s mother was a fashion model and his grandmother was a school principal who he claims refused to wear the same outfit twice – a genuine fashionista! His grandmother’s husband was also in the textile industry. Being an only child meant that he was always taken on every shopping trip whereby he discovered a passion for beautiful fabrics, the art of how pieces of clothing are cut and how the perfect outfit or look can make a statement about an individual. Harbouring a skill and love of drawing, this is how Kors was able to put design thoughts down on paper from an early age.

A brand which is becoming increasingly popular, Michael Kors has recently opened a new shop in New Bond Street, London and despite many retailers being forced to close or downsize during the recession, Michael Kors feels that his brand is one with longevity because it defies seasonal trends and has a classic look that can be worn for years. Michael Kors is renowned for his sense of elegance and femininity and his collection of watches are certainly expressive of that theme. Despite being on trend, they are not the type of watch that you would purchase to wear for only one or two seasons but are investment accessories that convey timeless sophistication and are instantly recognisable to the brand.

There is a wonderful new Michael Kors watch to look out for which is the MK4217. This beautifully feminine and striking watch features a dual strand bracelet strap with tortoiseshell pattern inlays – textures and prints are a typical feature of Michael Kors watches and add a sense of colour warmth and luxury.

In the current economic climate, it is certainly a struggle for many brands to keep people buying but Michael Kors is regarded as a lifestyle brand and has its own unique style that never fails to look elegant and chic and therefore people are willing to make the investment because they achieve high wearability for their money. The range of Michael Kors watches are exceptionally beautiful, incredibly detailed and finely crafted. With prices ranging between £70 and £270, the watches are a fantastic investment accessory that will look timelessly stylish and represent an item by a brand that is worn by the likes of only the most glamorous and elegant of ladies.
