In the Beginning

Calvin Klein was born on November 19, 1942 in Bronx, New York. He spent most of his childhood there, and was the second out of three children. His parents were Leo and Flo Stern. His family could afford to live a comfortable life and wanted for nothing. His grandmother had an influence over him, and helped him to develop a love for sewing. His mother in turn encouraged his passion for fashion and art. This led Calvin to attend the High School of Art and Design. The school was focused around preparing its students for a career of drafting and advertising. As a young boy, Calvin enjoyed sewing, was always studying, and sketching fashion designs. His passion led him to the Fashion Institute of Technology where he graduated in 1962. He began his career in the fashion industry as an apprentice in a suit and coat house in the Seventh Avenue in New York City. He spent long night, and often weekend just perfecting his designs. It was not until 1968 that him and his close friend, Barry Schwartz, created the Calvin Klein coat business. In a twist of fate, their first order came to them completely by accident. A coat buyer who worked for Bonwit Teller had accidentally stepped onto the wrong floor of the hotel. He wandered into the workroom Klein was in. She placed a massive order $50 thousand. Klein received favorable reviews and found support from store executives. Soon expanding his line of clothes to women's sportswear too.
