Calvin Klein is one of the most recognizable names in the world and is best known for his jeans and provocative ads. Starting out with humble roots, Calvin Klein started out as a simple coat shop in 1968 in the York Hotel in New York City. Urban myth states that a buyer from the now defunct Bonwit Teller accidentally stumbled on Klein’s shop when getting off the wrong floor at his hotel and ended up placing an order for $50,000. World fashion domination was soon to follow with his trademark minimalist fashions, a roster of celebrity clients and critical acclaim. By the early 80s, Calvin Klein brand was a household name.
The advertising campaigns of Calvin Klein may be just as exciting as the clothes that come down the runway. Brooke Shields famously quipped in the 80s “want to know what comes between me and my Calvin’s? Nothing”. Kate Moss, Christy Turlington and Mark Walhburg all posed nearly naked on billboards, creating a media frenzy. The marketing genius behind this brand has helped brand Calvin Klein risk taking designs.
The Calvin Klein collections include jeans, underwear, fragrance, home products and eye wear. This celebrity favorite can often be seen on the red carpet and is a favorite of such stars as Eva Medes, Claire Danes, Patrick Dempsey and Brad Pitt. Calvin Klein is an American classic and epitomizes sophistication and style.

A frenzy of colors in geometric shapes are the trademark eccentricities of Emilio Pucci. This kalediscope of colors lets you unleash your wild side with a contagious joie de vivre that is playfully sexy and brilliantly bright. This Florentine fashion designer left his mark on the fashion world and is known as the “prince of prints”. Pucci’s instantly recognizable style is a versatile investment buy that puts a ladylike spin on everything it touches.
The stuff made of legend, Pucci was discovered in the 1940s on the slopes of Switzerland by a photographer who worked for the magazine Harper’s Bazaar. Pucci had designed ski attire for a member of the Italian ski team and the rest, they say, is history. Soon to follow was a line of swim suits, then scarves and then eventually womenswear. Pucci’s designs specialize in wrinkle-free silk dresses and his looks have become very popular among celebrities, most notably Jackie Kennedy and Sophia Loren. A true declaration to his popularity, Marilyn Monroe was buried in a Pucci dress.
