Calvin Richard Klein (Bronx, New York, November 19, 1942) is an American fashion designer; co-founder

along with Barry K. Schwartz of the Calvin Klein Ltd. company in 1968

He was raised in an immigrant community of Hungarian Jews and graduated from the New York's Fashion
Institute of Technology in 1962.

In 1968 she worked and acquired experience in New York, selling coats on Seventh Avenue and
revolutionizing the fashion of the 1990s with her minimalist creations and free of superfluous embellishments,
representing the modern man and woman

He created his own firm called Calvin Klein Limited in 1968. In 1993 he was the winner of the Council of
Fashion Designers of America Award for his men and women's collections. His first campaign was with
Brooke Shields, who wore his jeans with the phrase "nothing comes between me and my Calvin Jeans."

Klein's success in the fashion industry was the launch of his first line of jeans in the 70s.

The Calvin Klein company is known for its flashy ads and has been accused by several conservative
organizations for using seemingly underage models in semi-provocative poses.

In addition to clothing, Klein gave his name to a line of perfumes, which include the unisex fragrances "CK
One" and "CK Be", which are now owned by Unilever. Like its fashion, Calvin perfumes express the basic
elements of the spirit.

From the sophistication of her collection of fragrances "Obsession", "Eternity", "Escape" and "Contradiction",
to the modern "CK One" and "CK Be", by Klein, they personalize the modern man and woman.

He has had two marriages: his first wife was Jayne Center, a fellow student, with whom he was married from
1964 to 1974; his second wife was the socialite Kelly Rector, with whom he was married between 1986 and
2006. He has a daughter of the marriage with Jayne Center called Marci Klein, who has been producing the
programs of NBC, Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock.

In 2010 she attended several social events in New York and The Hamptons in the company of her boyfriend,
Nick Gruber, 3 a young man of twenty at the time who had previously worked as a gay erotic model in
pornographic websites. The relationship lasted until January 2012,4 but they met three months later, when
Gruber was arrested for carrying cocaine. On that occasion, Klein supported him with a rehabilitation
treatment.
