PRODUCTION From 2008 on, Calvin Klein Collection will be manufactured for Calvin Klein, a wholly owned Phillips Van Heusen (PVH) subsidiary, in a licensing agreement by Warnaco Group , a US American fashion corporation. Until then this license remains with Fingen SpA of Italy. Calvin Klein Collection is headquartered in Milan, Italy. DESIGNERS AT CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION Before the house of Calvin Klein was sold to PVH in late 2002, Mr. Klein himself oversaw the design of the womens and mens collection. After the sale he functioned as a creative consultant for some time and was later released from all duties within the company. The current creative director for Calvin Klein Collection for women is Brazilian-born Francisco Costa who had already worked with Mr. Klein directly before the founder’s departure from the company. Italo Zucchelli , a former Jil Sander and Romeo Gigli designer, had collaborated with Calvin Klein for six seasons before he became head designer of the Calvin Klein Collection menswear line in spring 2004. Calvin Klein Collection is presented bi-annually during the fashion shows in New York (womenswear) and Milan (menswear).
