About this episode
Today, we have a very special guest on the podcast. Nicole Phelps sat down with the one and only, Mr. Calvin Klein. Calvin is the designer who dressed America—and the world—in his designer jeans and logo underwear. The designer who broke all the rules of luxury advertising and in the process became a household name. The designer whose streamlined slip dresses and sleek suits, even after over 20 years of retirement, still define American minimalism, providing a template for young designers of today. He talked about his early days in the Bronx, his own first job at Women’s Wear Daily, his quest for perfection, and the keys to unparalleled success. Two words: Confidence and Drive.
