calvin klein

Born
in 1942
in New York,
Klein also capitalized on his own charisma and lean good looks.
Throughout the decades, rumors about his own sexual orientation seemed to fuel the ongoing
mystique and appeal of this designer.
His biggest business rival, Ralph Lauren,
was believed to envy Klein’s ability to
charm so effortlessly, and to ‘work a room’.
