Introduction
The Fashion TV Network was launched in 1997 by its Polish born President Michel Adam Lisowski in France. Once he was asked why he had created this channel, he replied, “people love good music, good wives and latest fashion designs” -- he made his fortune based on this principle. He claims that most of his earnings come from the restaurants, nightclubs, hotels and shows, not from the fashion TV channel.
Michel Adam Lisowski, a Jewish descent, was born in Warsaw on 16 April 1950. Later, his family moved to Vienna in 1958. His father was a Polish government employee that worked as a diplomat at IAEA or International Atomic Energy Agency. Michel was a good student when he graduated from high school, and received Princeton University Scholarship for mathematics.
History
He started a Thailand based textile business called “Eden Group” in 1991 employing over 4,000 people. Six years later in July 1997, when the Asian financial crisis gripped much of Asia, he sold that business. After the closure of this textile business, he moved to Paris and made various investments in real estate projects. The Café Fashion, a rendezvous of the fashion world community was one among his many invested projects. Michel Adam Lisowski was well known with huge network in the world fashion community. He influenced many famous fashion designers to host fashion shows and fashion-related events at Café Fashion. Michel Lisowski observed the great demand for the fashion videos of the designers on the screens all around Café Fashion. At the dawn of digital television, he decided to launch Fashion TV with glamorous video recording of exciting models on catwalks.
