The famous American fashion designer Michael Kors returned to Greece this year, once again choosing Hydra for his summer vacation.

On the official Instagram account of the Michael Kors brand, which has more than 19.2 million followers, photos from Hydra were published accompanied by the comment:
“The warmth of the people, the turquoise waters and the laid-back vibe…. I am always thrilled to return to my beloved Greece!! We’re always on the move. As Diana Vreeland said, ‘The eye has to travel!’ – xxMK”
The translation of the message into Greek:
“The warmth of the people, the turquoise waters and the laid-back vibe… I am always thrilled to return to my beloved Greece!! We’re always on the move. As Diana Vreeland said, ‘The eye has to travel!’ – xxMK”.
The post garnered thousands of likes and comments, with followers from all over the world expressing their excitement for the choice of the top designer.
Michael Kors: from New York to the top of fashion
Michael Kors, born in New York in 1959, founded his eponymous fashion company in 1981. Since then, his name has become synonymous with affordable luxury, while his clothes, bags and accessories are worn by celebrities, political leaders and personalities around the world.
Today, the Michael Kors brand is a main pillar of Capri Holdings Limited, which also owns the Versace and Jimmy Choo brands. His company generates annual revenues of billions of dollars, while he himself has been honored many times for his creative work but also for his philanthropic work, particularly in the fight against hunger.
Greece in the international spotlight
Michael Kors’ public love for Greece is yet another example of how international fashion and lifestyle personalities are promoting the country on a global scale. Hydra, with its architecture, lack of cars and cosmopolitan atmosphere, continues to captivate artists and creators, strengthening the international image of Greece as a place of inspiration, relaxation and authentic hospitality.
