I worked for CK in Finance under the PR/Advertising side and Collection never made money… it was def a cool job and being in the PR/Advertising side, I saw all the costs that went into the campaigns, shows, celebs, etc….

The Calvin Klein fragrances developed the best scents. Very classy. Very unique. Not like today - They all smell the same and not alluring. I sold the Calvin Klein men’s colognes in a department store back in the day. The CK company sent us to meetings and training plus paid us commission to launch and sell each new line. At class the development of notes was actually broken down into three bottles in stages to smell. So exciting and as always was given free full size testers to keep. I also had all the original CK advertising commercial tapes to play at the counter.

You explained this beautifully! Coming from underwear and accessories, my division generated the highest profitability. But, it was collection and the brand overall that gave us the ability to optimize and quickly grow the brand worldwide♥️

By any chance do you have pictures 📸 of yourself during that era, 🤔 or even working at CK? I've seen Rupaul and drag queens in that era, club kids ect I'm just curious of the other side of that coin lol 😆 #90s

Your stories are so fascinating! So good. Would you also continue to teach how to assess fabric quality, cut, style?

Interesting- how do you feel about the fast fashion, low quality trend? I find it difficult to find anything in my price point of good quality that will last. Sweaters I buy for $100 usually pill so quickly.
