“Michael Stars is the 20-year old T-shirt company many credit with giving birth to the trend for fitted T’s.” -Los Angeles Magazine
Recognizing the potential of the humble T-shirt, Michael Stars has been a continual pioneer in creating “casual couture” since its founding in 1986. The Los Angeles based, family run company remains a leader in the women’s contemporary market, distinguished by its large selection of styles, exuberant colors and comfortable fabrics.
In 1976, Michael Cohen came to Los Angeles from his native Cape Town, South Africa to work for a British shirt company. In the beginning the company was modestly run out of a garage by three family members, all of whom remain with the company today – Cohen, his brother Stuart and Suzanne Lerner. Today, the company has grown to over 200 employees, offering more than 200 styles in over 30 colors per season.

True to its name, Michael Stars dresses many of Hollywood’s A-listers including Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel and Natalie Portman. Its distinctive styles have also become a favorite of wardrobe stylists, appearing on TV shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Desperate Housewives,” “30 Rock,” and “Weeds.” Michael Stars tees, dresses, sweaters and accessories are also regularly featured on the pages of fashion magazines like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Lucky, Elle and InStyle.
Michael Stars is not only innovative in its designs, but also dedicated to humanitarian efforts. The company is a regular supporter of numerous philanthropic events and charities including American Heart Association, American Red Cross, YouthAIDS, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Make-A-Wish Foundation.
