Limited Edition "100 Series" Watches Released Again This Year
Last year, Michael Kors established a long-term partnership with the WFP with the goal of eradicating hunger globally. The brand actively engaged in hunger eradication through its "Watch Hunger Stop" charity campaign. This achievement is a testament to those efforts.
Designer Michael Kors commented, "I am filled with gratitude and emotion. We joined the WFP's activities believing that our customers would help us tackle this significant yet solvable problem. And our customers have responded to that wish."
In commemoration of the UN's World Food Day on October 16th, donations to the WFP will be accepted at Michael Kors store checkouts worldwide throughout October. In Japan, this will be held at the Omotesando store.
However, Michael Kors states, "Our commitment to ending hunger is far from over." Following last year, a limited edition of the latest "100 Series" watch, specially designed to support the WFP, will be available this autumn. For each item sold, 100 children in regions affected by hunger will receive nutritious meals.

To promote the "Watch Hunger Stop" charity campaign, the brand's microsite features extensive content about the initiative. A special film for the charity campaign is also available.
