In 2013, he partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to help fight world hunger by designing the 100 Series watch. A portion of the proceeds from his special-edition timepiece helps WFP deliver food to children through its school meals program.

Michael Kors is always interested in hearing from talented, globally-minded individuals with a passion for fashion.
