Fashion TV

Fashion TV is an international broadcasting channel focused on fashion and lifestyle. It was established in France in 1997 by its Polish-born president, Michel Adam Lisowski. The channel has grown to become one of the most widely distributed satellite channels globally, operating with 31 satellite offices and being carried by 2,000 cable systems. By 2014, Fashion TV had reached an audience of 400 million viewers across the world. The channel functions as a multi-media platform, offering comprehensive global fashion reviews and is independently owned and operated, with headquarters located in London, Paris, Vienna, and Mumbai.

Michel Adam Lisowski, born on April 16, 1950, in Warsaw, Poland, moved to Vienna in 1958. He received a scholarship for Mathematics at Princeton University. Lisowski initially embarked on an entrepreneurial path by starting a textile business in Thailand named “Eden Group.” This venture laid a foundation for his later endeavors. His interest in business eventually led him to establish FashionTV in 1997, aiming to create a global platform dedicated to fashion, luxury, and beauty. This initiative positioned him as a notable figure in the fashion and lifestyle sectors.

Fashion TV under Lisowski’s leadership expanded its reach and diversified its operations. Beyond broadcasting, the brand has ventured into franchise operations, such as the “love-f-cafe” in European cities like Monaco and Milan, and various nightclubs and restaurants. These establishments serve as popular venues within the fashion community. Lisowski’s strategic vision also includes expanding Fashion TV’s influence in emerging markets, notably in India, where the brand is introducing various luxurious Fashion TV businesses.
