As seen in the St. Louis Jewish Light. Read the full story here.
Iconic fashion designer Michael Kors, who is Jewish, is coming to St. Louis this spring for St. Louis Fashion Fund’s “Speaking of Fashion” series in partnership with Washington University and Caleres. The speaker series is free and open to all. Last year it featured another Jewish fashion legend, Diane von Furstenberg.
The “Conversation with Michael Kors” talk will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Derek Blasberg, a native St. Louisan, journalist, author and fashion industry personality.
“When I was growing up in St. Louis more than two decades ago, Michael Kors was the sort of fashion name I hoped one day I’d be able to meet,” Blasberg said in a statement. “That’s why it’s especially thrilling to come back to my hometown and have the ability to speak to this undisputed icon of American style at Washington University.”
The hour-long program, slated for 4 p.m. on April 1 in the 800-seat Graham Chapel at Wash U., sold out minutes after registration opened. However, organizers will livestream the talk for those unable to get tickets or attend at that time.
