Calvin Klein 2005 Summer
Collection
by Sher Matsen
Calvin Klein – a name we all recognize
and a designer who is world renowned for
his fabulous fashions. So how did Calvin
Klein come to be?
As a young boy in the 1940s Calvin was already
pre-occupied with designing and sketching
fashions for women. The boy grew into a
young man earning scholarships to both the
New York High School of Art and Design;
and the Fashion Institute of Technology.
This was at a time when America was just
beginning to develop its own originality
and uniqueness. Eventually he teamed with
his childhood friend Barry Scwartz
Their very first products were coats for
women and men. From coats to ready to wear
women’s sportswear with clean lines
that were simple and effective. Then came
men’s fragrances, underwear, and designer
jeans. Designer jeans that anyone could
afford was a new idea and it very quickly
took over the jean market. Soon men’s
shorts became sexy and a desirable market
was created. Then when it was least expected
Calvin Klein launched Obsession, Eternity,
Escape, ck One, and Contradiction; all household
words of fragrance, all obsessions in their
own time. CK Be was created by Calvin Klein
in 1996 and features a fresh oriental woody
fragrance that blends musk, mandarin, magnolia,
peach, sandalwood, mint, lavender, bergamot,
and juniper berry making it a memorable
fragrance for both men and women. In 1996
CK the unisex fragrance took the market
by storm.
Calvin Klein was the youngest designer to
be awarded Coty Award – not just once
but for several years -1973, 1974,1975,
1982, 1983 and 1986, Calvin Klein also won
the Council of Fashion Designers of America
Award for outstanding design in both women’s
wear and men’s wear.
Today Calvin Klein, Inc. is a globally recognized
fashion, design and Retail Company determining
the future of fashion design. Not only is
it globally recognized in the fashion industry
it’s a household word.
The Calvin Klein Spring 2005 Collection
combines natural tones, using soft flowing
fabrics and clean lines. This spring Calvin
Klein launches its new line of Choice Calvin
Klein - Young Contemporary Jeanswear. The
denim line includes dark vintage, sandblast,
bleached blue and graffiti denim washes.
It will feature a unique branded pocket
stitch for fashion items, and the jeans
will be will be offered in a variety of
fits. The non-denim line features vibrant
colors and patterns and of course company
logos. This line offers satin bombers, sweater
knits, t-shirts, halters, and layered tank
tops. Choice Calvin Klein is branding itself
as a young contemporary lifestyle brand.
The fall line by Costa stays true to the
Calvin Klein brand: clean, supple, luxurious
clothes made for city life. The fall wardrobe
is rich in detail, finish, and texture,
with a slim, somewhat sixties silhouette.
The line includes sleek navy suits with
small jackets, and just above the knee skirts,
black cashmere, and A-line fur combining
mink and shearling. Even the basics consist
of satin roll necks, and lean pants.
Both the 2005 Summer Collection and Fall
Collection are worth having a look at. Fabulous
fashion ideas worth considering. You can
