Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein was born in the Bronx, New York, on November 19, 1942. He went to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. While he was there he majored in fashion design. He first worked as a coat and suit manufacturer and then eventually made his own collection of this type which did well. He started to do every type of clothing. He was the first designer who featured a brand name jean on a runway. The CDFA named him designer of the year in 1982 and 1983. He developed his first underwear line for men which did well but then did the same for women which made the underwear lines extremely successful. All his lines were successful including his suits and gowns.
