Michael Stars
Michael Stars was founded by Michael Cohen and Suzanne Lerner in 1986.
Hailing from Cape Town, a young Michael Cohen began his career in the clothing industry by establishing an agency that distributed London-based fashion lines.
Dismayed by the state of his country, he had an opportunity to leave apartheid South Africa in the late ‘70s and came to America.
Ten years after arriving in the US, he walked into the showroom of Suzanne Lerner, a natural-born entrepreneur in the apparel industry. It was this first meeting that ignited both their business and future marriage.
In the late '80s, inspired by the graphic designs of a local artist, the Michael Stars label was born.
