The Secret of Calvin Klein Glasses
Posted on December 21st, 2009 No comments“A celebrity in his own right, Klein says he keeps his designs focused on real men and women. “I don’t think in terms of celebrities when I design. Everything I do is inspired by the American woman and man. How they think and how they look.”
He adds, however, if pressed to name two stars that are perfect candidates for his designs they would be Julia Roberts and Gwyneth Paltrow. “They have worn everything we’ve done over the years.”
And he views eyeglasses as a significant part of the world of fashion. “I think eyewear is right up there with makeup and cosmetics, footwear and handbags,” says Klein. “It’s a really key accessory for both a woman and a man. For a man it may be his only accessory besides a watch. Frames, for both sun and ophthalmic, tell a lot about the person.”
Klein has nothing but praise for Marchon. “I think of Marchon as business partners,” says the designer. “What I try to do in every business where we don’t manufacture the product ourselves is to find the best in that industry’s expert. Marchon has been right on the top of that list. I?ve been fortunate enough to work with them. They truly understand what the brand stands for and that’s key.

He has been on the track for fashion success from the get go. Born in the Bronx in 1942, he attended the New York High School of Design and later graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology (more commonly known as F.I.T.) in 1962. In 1968, he along with childhood friend and business partner Barry K. Schwartz, founded Calvin Klein, Inc. with a line of women’s coats. As the infamous story goes, Mildred Custin, a buyer from Bonwit Teller, discovered Klein when she accidentally got off on the wrong floor and wandered into his workroom. Impressed by his coats, she placed an order and the young designer’s career was officially launched.
