MICHAEL KORS - I said no to Anna Wintour

Sony Music Entertainment
About this episode

His name is a brand that's a household name: Michael Kors, the global fashion phenomenon, joins Cush in New York for this episode of Origins. He talks to Cush about his upbringing in Long Island New York, surrounded by women, as an only child where his birthdays were celebrated like a national holiday.


He speaks about his start in Paris the same season that Marc Jacobs started at Louis Vitton, and Michael began his work at Celine.


Cush surprises Michael with a voice note from the love of his life and they talk emotively about gay marriage and what it has meant to them.
