Calvin Klein Quotes
Anything we do in advertising is controversial. If it’s provocative and sensual and related to what we’re selling, I'm willing to take the chance. I have fun with the ads.
I create the underwear to make people look sexy. So my point is that when I advertise it, for sure I’m going to show it to its greatest advantage. And, I’m going to do it on somebody who has an excellent body, male or female, doesn’t matter.
I learned a lot, because he threw me into the snake pit. It’s a fiercely competitive business, and Millstein was a perfect example of that world.
People have done it without having formal training in design, but I don't hire people unless they've been formally trained. I look for people who really are talented, creative, inventive, modern in thinking and hard working. Because this is – we’re in a very hard, tough business.
American designers weren’t considered very important then. We were considered inferior – copyists of the Europeans, lucky if we got a front-row seat at a French couture collection.
I’ve never been one to see women in ruffles and all kind of fanciful apparel. To me it’s just silly.
The next cKone generation has different values and communicates in a very modern way. When we take this campaign to email, it makes it very personal.
I want everyone I can get. Jews, Catholics, gays straights, you name it!
You can’t advertise for one group. Otherwise, you end up having a very small business!
There’s an awareness of fashion in this country, and it’s not limited to gay people. If business were geared toward selling just to gay people, we wouldn’t have much of a business and neither would anyone else, because that group is not big enough to support it.
There has been a change in men’s attitudes toward their clothes. In the past, the wife bought all the husband’s clothes, and that happens a lot less today. American men are more aware of fashion; they’re not afraid of it and they like clothes better and are willing to spend more time and money choosing them.
Fashion is about selling clothes. I’m in a business where no one cares about anything except how well your last collection sold.
I think fantasies are for the birds. Anything I wanted to do, I did. If there’s something I want, nothing stops me.
The money is not that important to me, whether it’s $800,000,000, a billion or two billion.
I don't think about my fame very much and I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.
I get either very excited about something or very depressed.
Doing everything as well as possible meant survival.
Fashion is about change. It’s fun to keep changing and to change the silhouettes, to change the fabrics and to change the colour.
