Michael Kors appoints president for Korea

Luxury fashion brand Michael Kors has appointed Hanjoon (Michael) Kim to the newly created role of president of Korea.

The appointment follows the company’s recent assumption of direct control of the Michael Kors business in South Korea.

Reporting to president of Asia Stephane Lafay, Kim will focus on building the infrastructure for the region and developing an expansion strategy for South Korea.

John Idol, chairman and chief executive of Michael Kors, said: “We believe that Korea represents a tremendous opportunity for Michael Kors. Michael’s appointment is an important step in building the brand’s success in the Korean market.”

Kim previously worked with Ferragamo Korea where he held the position of representative director. Prior to that, he was chief commercial officer/managing director at MCM and also worked for 12 years at Burberry Korea.

Idol added: “Michael will be working closely with Stephane Lafay to execute the strategic roadmap we’ve laid out for the Asia region. His organizational talent combined with his luxury brand-building experience make him an invaluable asset as we continue to build our business in Korea.”
