TitleChairman and Chief Executive Officer

John D. Idol is an American business executive who has been chief executive officer of Capri Holdings, the fashion group formerly called Michael Kors Holdings, since December 2003, and chairman of its board since September 2011.[1] Before joining Michael Kors he was chief executive of Donna Karan International from 1997 to 2001 and chairman and chief executive of Kasper ASL, the owner of the Anne Klein lines, from 2001 to 2003. Earlier he spent three years as a group president at Ralph Lauren.[1]

Idol joined Michael Kors in the year that Sportswear Holdings, the investment company of Silas Chou and Lawrence Stroll, took a majority interest in the business. He ran the company through its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2011, at which he was one of the main selling shareholders.[2] Annual revenue went from about $803 million in the fiscal year to April 2011 to $4.7 billion in fiscal 2016.[3]

Idol then turned the company into a multi-brand group. He bought Jimmy Choo in 2017 and Versace in 2018, and renamed the group Capri Holdings.[4][5] In 2023 he agreed to sell Capri to Tapestry, Inc. for about $8.5 billion. The Federal Trade Commission sued to block the deal, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction in October 2024, and the two companies ended the agreement the next month.[6] After that, Idol also took direct charge of the Michael Kors brand. In December 2025 he completed the sale of Versace to Prada for $1.375 billion.[7]

Outside fashion, Idol was one of seven investors in the consortium led by Lawrence Stroll that bought the Force India Formula One team out of administration in August 2018.[8] As of October 2026 he remains chairman and chief executive of Capri. Shareholders re-elected him to the board at the company's annual meeting on July 29, 2026, for a term running to 2029.[9]

Early life and education

Capri's 2026 proxy statement gave Idol's age as 67 and said he had more than 35 years of experience in the retail industry.[1] None of the sources consulted for this article, including the company's securities filings, give his birthplace, family background or education.

Career

Ralph Lauren, 1994 to 1997

From 1994 to 1997 Idol was Group President and Chief Operating Officer of Product Licensing, Home Collection and Men's Collection at Ralph Lauren.[1][2] The company's filings do not cover his career before 1994.

Donna Karan International, 1997 to 2001

In July 1997 Idol became chief executive officer and a director of Donna Karan International Inc., the publicly listed company behind the designer Donna Karan's labels. He held both posts until July 2001.[1] At least two executives who later worked under him at Michael Kors had also worked at Donna Karan. Joseph B. Parsons was its executive vice president and chief financial officer until October 2001.[2] Cedric Wilmotte who held senior posts at Donna Karan in New York, London and Milan from 1998 to 2004 and was appointed chief executive of the Michael Kors brand in 2023.[10]

Kasper ASL, 2001 to 2003

From July 2001 to July 2003 Idol was chairman, chief executive officer and a director of Kasper ASL, Ltd., a women's apparel company whose lines included the Anne Klein brand.[1] He brought colleagues from Kasper with him to Michael Kors. Lee Sporn, Kasper's senior vice president, general counsel and secretary from September 2001, became general counsel of Michael Kors in December 2003. Parsons, Kasper's executive vice president and chief financial officer from March 2002 to December 2003, joined Michael Kors in January 2004 and later became its chief financial officer and chief operating officer.[2]

Michael Kors, 2003 to 2018

In 2003 Sportswear Holdings Limited, a private equity company founded in 1989 by Silas Chou and Lawrence Stroll, acquired a majority interest in Michael Kors. Chou and Stroll became directors and co-chairmen of the company that January.[2] Idol joined as chief executive officer and a director in December 2003.[1] The designer Michael Kors stayed on as honorary chairman and chief creative officer.[11] Before the listing, Idol's employment agreement was amended to run to March 31, 2015, with automatic one-year renewals. It provided for a base salary, an annual bonus, life insurance cover, and a car and driver.[2]

Idol became chairman in September 2011, when Chou and Stroll stepped down as co-chairmen. In December 2011 the company listed on the New York Stock Exchange at $20 per share.[2] The prospectus named Kors, Idol and Sportswear Holdings as the company's "Principal Shareholders". It listed among the main business risks the company's dependence on Kors and Idol, and said Idol's leadership "has been a critical element of our success".[2] Idol beneficially owned 13,069,388 shares, or 6.9 percent, before the offering. He sold 3,400,320 shares in it and was left with about 5.1 percent. Kors owned 11.7 percent before the offering.[2] For a short period after the listing, Idol sat on the board's audit and compensation committees. The company said it would replace him on the audit committee with an independent director, as NYSE rules required.[2]

Revenue grew quickly after the listing: $1.30 billion in fiscal 2012, $2.18 billion in fiscal 2013, $3.31 billion in fiscal 2014 and $4.37 billion in fiscal 2015. Net income peaked at $881 million in fiscal 2015.[3] In May 2016 the company bought Michael Kors (HK) Limited, its exclusive licensee in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, for $500 million in cash.[12] The 2011 prospectus had described the Greater China licensees as subsidiaries of Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited, "an affiliate of Messrs. Kors, Idol, Chou and Stroll".[2] According to the company, a special committee made up only of independent directors, with its own legal and financial advisers, evaluated and negotiated the 2016 purchase, and the board's independent members approved it.[12]

Fiscal 2017 was harder. Revenue fell to $4.49 billion.[3] In May 2017 Idol called the year "challenging" and said "our product and store experience did not sufficiently engage and excite consumers". The company announced it would close 100 to 125 of its full-price retail stores over two years, at a one-time cost of about $100 million to $125 million. Idol called fiscal 2018 "a transition year in which we establish a new baseline before returning to long-term growth."[13]

Building a multi-brand group, 2017 to 2019

On July 25, 2017, Idol announced an agreement to buy Jimmy Choo PLC, the London-listed luxury footwear company, for 230 pence per share in cash, an enterprise value of about $1.35 billion. He kept Pierre Denis as Jimmy Choo's chief executive and Sandra Choi as its creative director.[11] The deal closed on November 1, 2017.[4]

On September 25, 2018, Idol announced a deal to buy all the shares of Gianni Versace S.p.A. for an enterprise value of EUR 1.83 billion, about US$2.12 billion. He also said the group would be renamed Capri Holdings Limited. At the time Idol predicted that "Versace will grow to over US$2.0 billion in revenues" with the group's resources. Donatella Versace stayed on to lead the creative side, Jonathan Akeroyd stayed as chief executive, and the Versace family became shareholders in Capri.[14] The purchase and the name change both took effect on December 31, 2018. The ticker changed from KORS to CPRI on January 2, 2019. Idol said the name came from the island of Capri, whose "three rock formation" stood for the group's three founder-led brands.[5] Group revenue was $5.24 billion in fiscal 2019 and $5.55 billion in fiscal 2020.[3]

Pandemic and succession plans, 2020 to 2023

On April 6, 2020, as stores closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Capri said Idol, Michael Kors, Donatella Versace and Sandra Choi had each chosen to give up their salaries for fiscal 2021, apart from the minimum needed to cover benefits or meet statutory rules. Board cash pay was cut by 50 percent, and the company drew the remaining $300 million on its revolving credit facility. The company also said it would furlough North American retail staff from April 11, 2020.[15] Revenue fell to $4.06 billion in fiscal 2021, then recovered to $5.65 billion in fiscal 2022.[3]

On August 24, 2021, Capri appointed Joshua Schulman, a former chief executive of Coach, to a new role as chief executive of the Michael Kors brand.[16] Under the succession plan, Schulman was to replace Idol as group chief executive in September 2022, and Idol was to become executive chairman. Idol said at the time that the board and he expected "a smooth CEO transition next Fall."[17] The plan was dropped on March 7, 2022, when Capri announced that Schulman would leave that day.[18] Idol stayed on as chairman and chief executive and said: "I am fully committed to continuing to lead Capri Holdings and driving our future success."[19] Schulman's separation terms included two years of base salary at $1.3 million a year and two years of target annual incentive, totalling $5.2 million.[18] In January 2023 Capri named Cedric Wilmotte, then chief operating officer of Versace, as the next chief executive of Michael Kors, starting April 3, 2023.[10]

Tapestry merger, 2023 to 2024

Capri's merger proxy statement records the negotiations in detail. On March 20, 2023, Tapestry's chief executive Joanne Crevoiserat contacted Idol and asked for a meeting. On April 4 she proposed an all-cash takeover at $60 per Capri share. Over the next few months Idol also met the heads of other companies who were interested in buying, or investing in, Versace and Jimmy Choo but not the whole group. On July 27 Tapestry cut its offer to $54 per share after due diligence, and Idol rejected it on the basis of earlier board discussions. On July 30, Idol and Crevoiserat agreed to put a price of $57 per share to their boards, with no "go-shop" clause.[20] The deal was announced on August 10, 2023, at $57 per share in cash, an enterprise value of about $8.5 billion. Idol called it "a major milestone for Capri" and said shareholders would receive "immediate value".[21]

Every other jurisdiction cleared the deal. On April 22, 2024, the FTC sued in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to block it under Section 7 of the Clayton Act.[6] In a statement, Capri said it "strongly disagrees with the FTC's decision" and would "vigorously defend this case in court alongside Tapestry".[22] Idol was the first witness when the preliminary injunction hearing opened before Judge Jennifer Rochon on September 9, 2024. He argued that the merger would help revive Michael Kors, which he described as struggling. He recalled that in 2016 one in seven women on Fifth Avenue carried a Michael Kors bag, and said that he now counted himself lucky to see one in 200.[23]

On October 24, 2024, Rochon granted the FTC's motion for a preliminary injunction, which barred the merger until the agency's own administrative case was finished.[6] She rejected the companies' argument that consumers could resist price rises because handbags are not essential, writing that this "ignores that handbags are important to many women, not only to express themselves through fashion but to aid in their daily lives."[24] Capri shares fell 47 percent in after-hours trading after the ruling.[25] The two companies filed an appeal on October 28. On November 13 they agreed to end the merger agreement, and Tapestry repaid Capri about $45 million in expenses.[6] In announcing the termination on November 14, 2024, Idol said Capri was "now focusing on the future of Capri" and its three brands. He cited more than 1,200 directly operated stores and a workforce of 15,000, and said an investor day would follow in February 2025.[26]

Restructuring and the sale of Versace, 2024 to present

On November 26, 2024, Capri said Wilmotte would leave as chief executive of Michael Kors as part of reorganisation and cost reduction.[27] Idol took over as chief executive of the brand from December 2, 2024, in addition to his group roles. Philippa Newman was promoted to chief product officer, reporting to him and overseeing design, merchandising, production and licensing alongside Michael Kors.[28] Explaining the change, Idol said the brand would "create exciting fashion and core products with compelling value, improve store productivity and return our wholesale business to growth". One trade publication reported that he had acknowledged the brand had raised prices too early and offered too much fashion for its core customer.[29]

On April 10, 2025, Idol announced the sale of Versace to Prada S.p.A. for $1.375 billion in cash. The group had paid an enterprise value of about $2.12 billion for Versace in 2018.[30][14] He said that over six years Capri had repositioned Versace towards "its luxury heritage and exceptional craftsmanship". He said the sale would "strengthen our balance sheet and power the future growth of Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo", with the proceeds going to business investment, debt reduction and share buybacks.[30] The sale closed on December 2, 2025.[7]

In the same period Idol took on more operational work himself. Chief financial officer and chief operating officer Thomas J. Edwards Jr. resigned with effect from June 20, 2025. Idol then took direct responsibility for information technology and supply chain until a successor arrived.[1] Tyler Reddien was appointed chief financial officer and chief operating officer from March 30, 2026, reporting to Idol.[31] Chief legal and sustainability officer Krista McDonough resigned with effect from June 26, 2026. Catherine So was named to that role from October 19, 2026.[32]

Reporting results for fiscal 2026 on May 27, 2026, Idol said the company's priority a year earlier had been "to stabilize the business". He set longer-term targets of $4 billion in revenue for Michael Kors and $800 million for Jimmy Choo.[33] On August 5, 2026, he cut the fiscal 2027 revenue forecast to about $3.4 billion, citing lower inventory at Michael Kors, weaker trading in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and exchange rates. He kept the forecast of about $2.15 in earnings per share and said the company was "taking actions to reduce operating expenses".[34]

Leadership and management style

Idol has held the chairman and chief executive roles together since 2011. Capri's board argues that this gives "unified leadership" because Idol has "intimate knowledge of our business operations and strategy". The board balances the combined role with an independent lead director, Robin Freestone as of 2026. All directors other than Idol are independent.[1] His employment agreement requires the company to use its best efforts to keep him in the chair. If his employment ends for any reason, he must resign from the board.[1]

His record shows a pattern of stepping back into operating roles when planned successors or senior executives leave. After Schulman left in 2022 he stayed on as group chief executive. When Wilmotte left in 2024 he ran the Michael Kors brand directly. After Edwards resigned in 2025 he took over information technology and supply chain.[19][28][1] In buying other brands he generally kept existing management in place. He retained Pierre Denis and Sandra Choi at Jimmy Choo, and Donatella Versace and Jonathan Akeroyd at Versace. He said keeping leaders in place would preserve each house's "DNA".[11][14]

Idol's public statements have at times admitted problems directly. In 2017 he said the company's product and stores had failed to "engage and excite consumers".[13] In November 2024 he acknowledged weak performance "over the past 18 months".[26] The merger proxy shows that he handled the Tapestry negotiations personally. He kept the lead director informed and reported his separate talks with other possible bidders to the board in executive session.[20]

Major deals and strategic decisions

  • Initial public offering (December 2011): listing on the NYSE at $20 per share, with Idol among the selling shareholders.[2]
  • Greater China licensee (May 2016): purchase of Michael Kors (HK) Limited for $500 million in cash. The business had revenue of $197 million and 91 company-operated stores in the year to March 31, 2016.[12]
  • Store closures (May 2017): plan to close 100 to 125 full-price stores over two years, with expected annual savings of $60 million.[13]
  • Jimmy Choo (2017): purchase for 230 pence per share, a transaction value of about $1.35 billion, completed November 1, 2017.[4]
  • Versace and the Capri name (2018): purchase for an enterprise value of EUR 1.83 billion (about US$2.12 billion), completed December 31, 2018.[14][5]
  • Sale to Tapestry (2023 to 2024): agreed at $57 per share (about $8.5 billion enterprise value), blocked by preliminary injunction, and ended by mutual agreement on November 13, 2024.[21][6]
  • Sale of Versace (2025): sold to Prada for $1.375 billion in cash, completed December 2, 2025.[7]

Financial and market performance

The table shows revenue as reported in the company's annual reports. The fiscal year ends in late March or early April. Figures from fiscal 2024 onwards exclude Versace, which the company reclassified as a discontinued operation.[3][33]

Fiscal year Revenue (US$)
2011 $803 million
2012 $1.30 billion
2013 $2.18 billion
2014 $3.31 billion
2015 $4.37 billion
2016 $4.71 billion
2017 $4.49 billion
2018 $4.72 billion
2019 $5.24 billion
2020 $5.55 billion
2021 $4.06 billion
2022 $5.65 billion
2023 $5.62 billion
2024 (continuing operations) $4.14 billion
2025 (continuing operations) $3.62 billion
2026 (continuing operations) $3.47 billion

Net income rose from $72.5 million in fiscal 2011 to $881 million in fiscal 2015. The company then made net losses of $223 million in fiscal 2020 and $62 million in fiscal 2021.[3] Including Versace, revenue fell 8 percent to $5.2 billion in fiscal 2024, and adjusted net income fell 49.7 percent to $413 million.[35] In fiscal 2026 the company returned to full-year profitability and generated positive free cash flow, according to Idol's letter to shareholders.[1] Capri shares closed at $17.27 on March 27, 2026, against the $57 per share Tapestry had agreed to pay and the $20 IPO price of 2011.[1][21][2]

Headcount followed the same pattern. In November 2024 Idol put the group's workforce at 15,000.[26] After the Versace sale, the company had about 7,100 full-time and 4,100 part-time employees as of March 28, 2026.[6]

Compensation

Idol's employment agreement sets a minimum base salary of $1.35 million. His annual cash incentive target is 200 percent of salary, with a maximum of 400 percent. The agreement gives him unlimited vacation, a company car and driver, and company-paid premiums of up to $50,000 a year for about $5.0 million of whole life insurance and $500,000 of term life cover. If he is dismissed without cause or resigns for good reason, he receives severance of twice the sum of his salary and his previous year's annual incentive.[1] His reported total compensation was $10,536,629 in fiscal 2024, $9,058,699 in fiscal 2025 and $11,909,990 in fiscal 2026. The fiscal 2026 total included a $5.4 million annual incentive and a $5.0 million share award. Capri put the ratio of his fiscal 2026 pay to that of its median employee, a part-time hourly sales assistant in the United States earning $31,955, at 373 to 1.[1]

The 2023 merger proxy estimated that Idol would receive $39.4 million in cash and accelerated equity if the Tapestry deal closed and his employment then ended on qualifying terms.[20] In July 2024, WWD put the figure at $27.5 million on updated assumptions.[35] At the 2026 annual meeting, 69,191,540 shares voted for the advisory resolution on executive pay and 19,868,018 against. Idol was re-elected as a director with 80,171,077 votes for and 8,904,682 against.[9]

Idol may use the company aircraft for personal trips under a time-sharing agreement, provided he repays the operating expenses allowed under federal aviation rules. In fiscal 2026 he ran up about $908,545 in such costs. He had repaid $572,464 by the end of the fiscal year, leaving $336,081 outstanding.[1]

Shareholding

As of June 2026 Idol beneficially owned 2,572,027 Capri shares, or 2.2 percent. That figure includes 1,000,000 shares held in a grantor retained annuity trust for his children and 54,600 shares held by the Idol Family Foundation, in which he has no pecuniary interest.[1]

Board memberships and outside roles

Idol has been a director of Capri Holdings and its predecessor since December 2003. He was previously a director of Donna Karan International, from 1997 to 2001, and of Kasper ASL, from 2001 to 2003.[1]

In August 2018 he joined the consortium led by Lawrence Stroll that took over the Force India Formula One team from administration, in a deal that saved its 405 jobs and paid creditors in full. The other investors were André Desmarais, Jonathan Dudman, John McCaw Jr., Michael de Picciotto and Silas Chou. The consortium replaced Vijay Mallya, Subrata Roy and the Mol family as owners.[8][36]

Controversies

In December 2024 and January 2025, two Capri shareholders filed putative class action complaints in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaints named Capri, Tapestry and certain of their officers, including Idol and former chief financial officer Thomas Edwards. They alleged violations of federal securities laws in statements about the Tapestry merger and the FTC's challenge to it, on behalf of investors who bought Capri shares between August 10, 2023 and October 24, 2024. The court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint without prejudice on March 31, 2026. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 30, 2026, and the company reported the case as pending as of May 2026.[6]

The 2016 purchase of the Greater China licensee was a related-party transaction. The 2011 prospectus had identified the licensee's parent company as an affiliate of Idol, Kors, Chou and Stroll. The company said independent directors handled the transaction through a special committee with separate advisers.[2][12]

Personal life

Idol has children, for whose benefit he set up a grantor retained annuity trust holding Capri shares. He may be deemed the beneficial owner of shares held by a charitable vehicle, the Idol Family Foundation, though he has no pecuniary interest in them.[1]

Philanthropy

The Idol Family Foundation held 54,600 Capri shares as of June 2026.[1] The sources consulted do not report specific gifts by the foundation.
