Fashion label Michael Kors wants to go high-tech
New York
THE fashion label known for its MK-print handbags that try to embody "jet-set" glamour told analysts that it has plans for wearable technology and would announce specifics in the "next few months". "We will be in wearables," said John Idol, chief executive of Michael Kors. "So I will tell you that that is coming from Michael Kors. And we have a whole strategy around it."
The company has previously hinted at its interest in tech-centred products, including selling lipstick tubes and compact mirrors that double as portable phone chargers. In 2014, it designed styles for the Duracell Powermat, a wireless phone-charging device complete with the signature MK logo print.
