Calvin Klein Biography
| |
| As one of the biggest names in the fashion world, the Calvin Klein biography is the story of a boy who discovered his passion at an early age. Born on November 19, 1942, in the Bronx, New York, Klein was raised in a middle-class family of Jewish Hungarian immigrants. While other kids were out playing sports in the streets, Klein was at home, practicing his sewing and sketching designs for hours on end. His parents didn’t know where he had gotten the talent or the interest – neither of them were fashion fiends – but it was one they were happy to watch grow. |
