Who is Calvin Klein?

Calvin Richard Klein was born to Flo and Leo Stern on November 19, 1942 in Bronx, New York. While Klein’s sense of fashion and style was highly lauded and greatly demanded ever since his brand was launched, it was his signature tight-fitting jeans that gave him the cult status that he enjoys till date. The jeans revolutionized the way people looked at denim wear. The boom of the signature jeans served as a prelude for the forthcoming foray into the men’s innerwear that steered the company to big financial gain. His designed boxer shorts titled ‘Calvins’ acted as a catalyst grossing stunning growth rate for the company.  Klein has been honoured by various fashion councils from the world over. He struck a hat-trick with the prestigious Coty Awards from 1973 to 1975, becoming the youngest designer ever to achieve the feat. He thrice received an award from the Councils of Fashion Designs of America in 1981, 1983 and 1993. In 1983, Klein was listed on the International Best Dressed List. In 1996, he made it to the list of 25 most influential Americans, published by Times Magazine. In 2002, Calvin Klein sold his company, Calvin Klein Inc. to Phillips Van Heusen Corp.
