Founding (1968) Calvin Klein Inc. was founded in 1968 by Calvin Klein (designer) and Barry Schwartz (business partner and childhood friend) in New York City. The company began as a small coat shop in the York Hotel on Seventh Avenue, specializing in men’s and women’s outerwear. From the beginning, Klein’s aesthetic focused on clean lines, refined simplicity, and modern tailoring, which became the brand’s signature look. Expansion into Men’s Clothing (1970s) Although Calvin Klein first gained fame for women’s coats and dresses, the brand quickly expanded into menswear during the early 1970s. The men’s line reflected Klein’s minimalist approach—modern cuts, neutral colors, and sleek fabrics. Key developments: 1973: Klein won his first Coty Award for fashion design. Mid-1970s: The company launched Calvin Klein Men’s, featuring tailored suits, dress shirts, and casual sportswear aimed at modern professionals. The clothing emphasized American tailoring with European influence, giving men a more fitted, youthful look.
