Runway designer and television personality most recognized as one of the judges on Lifetime’s Project Runway.

He is the youngest person to receive the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the CFDA.
Career
The career design crept to Kor’s interest when he was a kid. His mother speculated that the yarn had been caused partly by exposing him to the related industry in her days to life as a model. It was terrific that Kors was the one who changed his mother’s old wedding dress to fit for her new wedding dress during her other wedding with Kors’s next father. By this time, Michael was only five years of age.
Personal Life
In 2011, he married his long-time partner Lance LePere.
Along with host Heidi Klum, he has appeared on Project Runway.
