Calvin Klein perfumes is one of the biggest names in fashion. Born in 1942, Calvin taught himself how to sketch and sew at a young age. He went on to win a place at New York’s High School of Art and Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology and finally launched his own label. Klein was a pioneer of designer jeans, underwear and the wholesome, all-American look.

Listed as one of America’s 25 most influential people by Time, Klein has helped shape the casualwear industry and played a major role in modern advertising. He caused a controversy when he had Richard Avedon photograph a pubescent Brooke Shields for his 1979 jeans campaign under the slogan, “Do you know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” British model Kate Moss followed, helping to launch his unisex perfume cK one, one of nine Klein perfume lines.

In October 1999, Klein shocked the fashion world when he announced that he was considering selling his fashion house. Seven months later, after reported talks with Tommy Hilfiger and others came to nothing, Klein confirmed that his $1 billion fashion house was no longer on the market.

Klein is the recipient of many industry awards, including the title of America's Best Designer of 1993, and sits on numerous committees, including the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
