Fashion heavyweight Michael Kors has decided to sell 25 percent stake in his company in order to fund his plan for global expansion, with a goal of raising upwards of $500 million. Long-time fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger has reportedly been recruited by Morgan Stanley to become one of the top investors. Although nothing has been finalized, Hilfiger commented to WWD from Europe:
“Anybody would be crazy not to invest in it. Michael Kors is the next major global player in my eyes.”
To date, the Michael Kors business is very successful. What’s next? 50 locations across China in the coming years, and plans to go for an IPO soon after the private sale, following in the trails of Prada. Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan completed their IPOs in the late nineties, but for American brands, this is rare.
If the investment in Kors fashion conglomerate finalizes, Hilfiger would join Joel Horowtiz, Silas Chou and Lawrence Stroll in the deal. These four were also responsible for the original investment in the Tommy Hilfiger brand. in 2003, Chou and Stroll bought Michael Kors for a reported $100 million.
Hilfiger seems confident in his partners. He said, ”For over 20 years, we’ve invested in things together. If they ask me, of course I’ll invest.”

It may sound like a scene in a sci-fi flick, but the Cocoon Treatments at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is a spa experience like no other.
Exclusive to the luxurious resort in south Maui, these treatments — there are three to choose from — use a warm cocoon-like bed. When you climb into it, you’ll sink into the pillowy softness, almost like you’re floating on a warm ocean.
The Wailea Water Ritual ($125 for 25 minutes) starts you in a secluded steam shower where you can exfoliate your body with a macadamia nut bath gel under a rain shower. Next, you move into a deluxe whirlpool with bath salts and aromatherapy oils. It’s a great way to start your morning or end a long day.
The Wai Aulia (for individuals, $155 for 50 minutes, $225 for 80 minutes; for couples, $290 for 50 minutes, $425 for 80 minutes) moves you into the warm cocoon bed, where you are gently rocked, massaged and stretched by an experienced therapist. It’s total relaxation at its finest.
The Wai Huakai (for individuals, $350 for 110 minutes; for couples, $575 for 110 minutes) begins with a relaxing soak in mineral-rich sea salts and botanical extracts. You move into the cocoon bed, where you are wrapped in a blend of ayurvedic oils with more than 75 therapeutic plant extracts. Next, a therapist will massage your neck, scalp, face and feet. After that, you wind down in the Serenity Room, where you are served a tonic, before a 50-minute full-body massage.
Now that’s a vacation!

GAIA documents his six months of taking photos of earth—as seen from the International Space Station—with never-seen-before images of the planets surface, showing the colors and textures of 40 countries visible from 220 miles away. Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, while making 16 tours of the earth every day, it was only after he returned that he decided to share the curated photos.
Sam Nazarian and Guy Laliberte
Using a Nikon D3S and Nikon D3X digital-SLR cameras, Laliberté shares 300 pages of images in which deserts re¬semble contemporary abstract paintings, cities rise up like mini mountain ranges, and faces are revealed in the terrain.
ASSOULINE books – the luxury book and gift items brand – has published a limited edition $895 linen clamshell version and also a $65 hard-cover copy.
Guests included designer Barbara Lazaroff, David & Angella Nazarian, Genevieve Bujold, Guy Laliberté Lois Aldrin and Sam Nazarian, among others.
Laliberté was born in Québec Cityand is an accomplished n accordionist, stilt walker, and fire-eater. He founded Cirque du Soleil, Québec’s first internationally renowned circus, with the support of a small group of colleagues. A bold visionary, Laliberté recognized and cultivated the talents of the street performers from the Fête foraine de Baie-Saint-Paul. He was the first to orchestrate the marriage of cultures and artistic and acrobatic disciplines that is the hallmark of Cirque du Soleil. Since 1984, he has guided the creative team through the creation of every show. Today, Cirque du Soleil is a sprawling international operation, with activities on five continents
Laliberté dedicated his personal spaceflight to raising awareness about water issues facing humankind, making his first—in his own words—“poetic social mission” in space. Proceeds from book sales go to One Drop, a not-for-profit organization initiated by Laliberté to fight poverty worldwide by ensuring that everyone across the planet has access to clean water, now and in the future.
