Michel Adam Lisowski, is the founder and sole owner of Fashion TV.^[1]

Michel Adam Lisowski was born on April 16th, 1950 in Warsaw. His family is of Jewish descent and moved to Vienna in 1958, as his father served the Polish government as a diplomat at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). After high school Lisowski was granted a scholarship for Mathematics at Princeton University.

Subsequently he started a textile business in Thailand called "Eden Group". In 1991, Eden Group employed more than 4000 workers. When the East Asian Financial Crisis hit Thailand in 1996, Michel Adam Lisowski sold the business.

After he left Thailand, Michel Adam Lisowski moved to Paris and invested in various real estate projects. Among others the Café Fashion in Paris - a meeting spot for the fashion community. Due to Lisowski's vast network in the fashion industry, he succeeded to attract many designers to host events at his venues - events during which the designers played fashion videos on the screens all around the Café Fashion.

Thus Lisowski noticed the demand of restaurant and clubs for glamorous video programming, which prompted - together with the dawn of digital television - the inception of Fashion TV. Quickly Fashion TV became very popular with cable and satellite operators - being the first television channel dedicated exclusively to fashion. Today Lisowski is the President of Fashion TV (FTV).

On Friday, March 18, 2011 Michel Adam married model and ballet dancer Maria Mogsolova.
