Intriguing Calvin Klein
In 1968, Klein founded Calvin Klein Limited, a coat shop
in the York Hotel in New York City, with $10,000. Legend has it that a year
later a buyer from Bonwit Teller got off the elevator on the wrong floor, and
ended up placing a $50,000 order. It is more likely though, that Klein showed
his work to Bonwit Teller staff, which led to the first Calvin Klein collection:
a line of men's and women's coats featured at the New York City store. In
1969, Mr. Klein, who was later described as "the supreme master of
minimalism," appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine. By 1971, sportswear,
classic blazers as well as lingerie were added to his women's collection.
