About Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein is one of the world’s leading global fashion lifestyle brands with a history of bold, non-conformist ideals that inform everything we do.

Founded in New York in 1968, the brand’s minimalist and sensual aesthetic drives our approach to product design and communication, creating a canvas that offers the possibility of limitless self-expression.

The Calvin Klein brands - CK Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein Jeans, Calvin Klein Underwear, and Calvin Klein Performance — are connected by the intention and purpose of elevating everyday essentials to globally iconic status. Each of the brands has a distinct identity and position in the retail landscape, providing us the opportunity to market a range of universally appealing products to domestic and international consumers with a variety of needs.

Our products are underpinned by responsible design, high-quality construction, and the elimination of all unnecessary details. We strive for unique and dimensional pieces that continuously wear well and remain relevant season after season.

Continuously inspired by the world’s leading culture creators, Calvin Klein continues to solidify its position as an innovator of emerging digital platforms and modern marketing campaigns. Strong relationships with a diverse community of influencers and key opinion leaders fuel a growing interest in the brand and its products. Global retail sales of Calvin Klein products were approximately $8.5 billion in 2021.

The Calvin Klein brands are also licensed for a range of lifestyle products, including fragrance, women’s apparel, footwear, eyewear, children’s clothing, watches, and jewelry, as well as in certain geographic regions. PVH acquired Calvin Klein in 2003 and continues to oversee a focused approach to growing the brand’s worldwide presence worldwide, recognition and relevance.

The successful customer and commercial reaction to recent collaborations with Heron Preston and Palace are a reminder of the brand’s potential for cultural impact. With product design and development teams further strengthening in recent years, Calvin Klein is increasingly positioned to capitalize on its global brand awareness and loyalty.
