Michael Kors and Heidi Klum Participate in Breast Cancer Research Campaign

Posted on: Jun 15

Michael Kors is now as well-known for his face and repetitive clothing choices as his sophisticated designs, thanks to his participation in the popular Project Runway series. With model Heidi Klum at his side, the fashionable duo is taking their teamwork to more rewarding heights.

Kors and Klum are working together for this year's Saks Fifth Avenue Key to the Cure campaign in support of the Breast Cancer Reasearch Foundation. The designer created the campaign's limited edition shirt, which Heidi models in the printed public service announcement.

WWD explained the significance of Michael Kors' involvement in the project:

"For Kors, participating in this campaign also means much to him personally. The mother of Lance Le Pere, executive vice president and creative director at his company and Kors’ partner, passed away from breast cancer, and the designer has had many people in his family, as well as his friends, affected by the disease."

The Kors-designed t-shirt will hit Saks stores on October 1 with a retail price of $40.
