A Designer in the Making: The Early Years of Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein knew by the time he was five what he wanted to spend his life doing. He was going to be a fashion designer and no one was going to stop him. Indeed, Klein would go on to become one of the most respected designers in the fashion industry, with a billion dollar company and a name brand that can be found on almost everything from jeans to perfume to underwear. Both his unique fashion sense and his marketing genius have earned him the nickname ‘Calvin the Conqueror’ for the impact he has had on the global fashion industry throughout his astonishingly successful 40-year career.

A Winning Design: How Klein Manufactured Success
“I get either very excited about something or very depressed,” says Klein. A man of extremes, Klein managed to turn his excitement about fashion and design into a lifelong career that has not only spawned a billion-dollar company, but has also revolutionized the way the world thinks about clothing.
Lesson #5: Stay Focused
“I am a very focused person,” says Combs. “Right now I'm in a real, real strong creative zone. You know, musically I'm in that zone. Fashion, designer-wise, I'm in that zone. I'm in a zone right now. I'm like Jordan in the fourth right now, ladies and gentlemen.” Between all his business ventures, court battles, marathon runs and his family, if it weren’t for Combs’ ability to focus on one important thing at a time, he would have succumbed to the pressure long ago.

The Beauty Magnate: Chanel Leaves Her Mark
Chanel was beginning to make a name for herself among the who’s who of Paris all the while acquiring a taste for their luxuries and decadent lifestyle. With her modest hat and dress store, Chanel’s reputation was already beginning to grow as a woman who had little interest in the extravagant and tight-fitting clothes that were all the rage at the time. Instead, she opted for darker and simpler dresses that drew their inspiration from men’s clothing as well as the outfits of the nuns she had grown up around.
Facts About Oprah Winfrey
She may be one of the most recognized faces in all of the United States, if not the world, but there are many facts about Oprah Winfrey that might not be so well known. From asking fashion designer Ralph Lauren to design cashmere jackets for her dogs to being voted most popular in her high school, it is the little known details about this diva that continue to delight and appease her curious fans.

Russell Simmons House
Apparently, he isn’t just a genius when it comes to hip hop and fashion; Russell Simmons knows what he’s doing in the world of real estate too. He owns a sprawling 35,000 square foot mansion in Saddle River, New Jersey – one of the largest homes on the eastern coast, a $5.3 million, 5,800 square foot mansion in Los Angeles, and a Manhattan penthouse. But, for now, it seems like this music mogul has had enough. Russell Simmons’ house in New Jersey is now up for sale.

Calvin Klein 2006
As one of the most popular and successful brands in American fashion, Calvin Klein Ltd. has witnessed continued growth since its initial launch in 1968. In addition to clothing, the line extends to include perfumes, watches and jewelry. And, while the brand has been at the forefront of adolescent fashion trends, the CK target demographic is a wide one. “I want everyone I can get,” jokes Klein. “Jews, Catholics, gays, straights, you name it!” However, for the public face behind the company, Calvin Klein, 2006 has been one of the most important years in the expansion of his growing empire.

Mademoiselle Coco Chanel
In her inner circle of friends, fashion designer Coco Chanel was known as ‘Mademoiselle’. Over her fifty-odd year career of running her own business, she came to be considered as the ‘Grande Mademoiselle’ of both the fashion industry and high society. Coco Chanel not only revolutionized what women wore, but also the roles they were supposed to play in society.

Coco Chanel Perfume
In 1924, legendary fashion icon Coco Chanel remarked, “I want to give women an artificial perfume. Yes, I really do mean artificial, like a dress, something that has been made. I don’t want any rose or lily of the valley; I want a perfume that is a composition.” Today, eighty-three years after the first launch of Chanel No. 5, Coco Chanel perfume remains as popular as ever and indeed, one of the best known brands in the world.

‘Til Death Do Us Part: How Wang Created a Following of Loyal Customers
“I never thought I'd be successful,” says Wang. “It seems in my own mind that in everything I've undertaken I've never quite made the mark. But I've always been able to put disappointments aside. Success isn't about the end result; it's about what you learn along the way.”

I Know What the Media Wants
No one knows what the media wants because what they want is constantly changing. Don't take for granted you are some kind of media maven. Remember, you're going to succeed by learning how the media thinks, not by assuming you think they know what they want.
