Michael Kors to honour Hilary Clinton

Former US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is to receive the

first ever Michael Kors award for her “outstanding community service” at the God’s Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards being held in October.

“I am deeply honoured to present Mrs. Clinton with this award that means so much to me,” said Kors. “She is a dedicated and enormously effective humanitarian whose commitment to community service encompasses the whole planet. Thanks to her talent, devotion and unrelenting efforts on behalf of those with much less, she has improved millions of lives and helped lay the foundation for a better, more just world."

The annual charity awards is sponsored by Kors’ food charity God’s Love We Deliver, which provides tailored meals to those who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves in the New York area, and will take place on October 16 to coincide with World Food Day.

Other honourees at this year's ceremony include Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of Aerin and style and image director of Estée Lauder, who will receive the Golden Heart Award for lifetime achievement.
