Calvin Klein

About

Calvin Klein is a renowned American fashion brand founded in 1968 by Calvin Klein and Barry K. Schwartz. The brand is famous for its minimalist designs and has become synonymous with modern fashion. Calvin Klein is known for its diverse product line, which includes apparel, perfume, undergarments, watches, and more. The brand's high-end runway fashion division was discontinued in 2019, but it continues to thrive in the mass-market ready-to-wear segment. Calvin Klein is particularly celebrated for its iconic underwear lines, which revolutionized the industry in the 1980s. The brand's advertising campaigns have often been provocative and culturally influential. Over the years, Calvin Klein has expanded globally, with operations in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. In 2003, the company was acquired by PVH Corp., and Calvin Klein himself stepped back from active design, though he remained involved as an advisor until 2017.
