Dress Like a Celebrity by Kathryn
Finney
How does Sarah Jessica, Oprah, and Salma do it?
They have a bottomless bank account and an army
of stylists. We’ve got the dish for achieving
star quality without breaking the bank. The key
to looking like a million bucks is not found in
a bunch of designer labels, but in how we wear an
item. Here are three tips that celebrities (or should
we say their stylists) use to create their star
looks.

Calvin Klein 2005 Spring Collection
by Sher Matsen
February 22, 2005
Calvin Klein – a name we all recognize and a designer
who is world renowned for his fabulous fashions. So how
did Calvin Klein come to be?
As a young boy in the 1940s Calvin was already pre-occupied
with designing and sketching fashions for women. The boy
grew into a young man earning scholarships to both the
New York High School of Art and Design; and the Fashion
Institute of Technology. This was at a time when America
was just beginning to develop its own originality and
uniqueness. Eventually he teamed with his childhood friend
Barry Scwartz.
Their very first products were coats for women and men.
From coats to ready to wear women’s sportswear with
clean lines that were simple and effective. Then came
men’s fragrances, underwear, and designer jeans.
Designer jeans that anyone could afford was a new idea
and it very quickly took over the jean market. Soon men’s
shorts became sexy and a desirable market was created.
Then when it was least expected Calvin Klein launched
Obsession, Eternity, Escape, ck One, and Contradiction;
all household words of fragrance, all obsessions in their
own time. CK Be was created by Calvin Klein in 1996 and
features a fresh oriental woody fragrance that blends
musk, mandarin, magnolia, peach, sandalwood, mint, lavender,
bergamot, and juniper berry making it a memorable fragrance
for both men and women. In 1996 CK the unisex fragrance
took the market by storm.
Calvin Klein was the youngest designer to be awarded Coty
Award – not just once but for several years -1973,
1974,1975, 1982, 1983 and 1986, Calvin Klein also won
the Council of Fashion Designers of America Award for
outstanding design in both women’s wear and men’s
wear.
Today Calvin Klein, Inc. is a globally recognized fashion,
design and Retail Company determining the future of fashion
design. Not only is it globally recognized in the fashion
industry it’s a household word.
The Calvin Klein Spring 2005 Collection combines natural
tones, using soft flowing fabrics and clean lines. This
spring Calvin Klein launches its new line of Choice Calvin
Klein - Young Contemporary Jeanswear. The denim line includes
dark vintage, sandblast, bleached blue and graffiti denim
washes. It will feature a unique branded pocket stitch
for fashion items, and the jeans will be will be offered
in a variety of fits. The non-denim line features vibrant
colors and patterns and of course company logos. This
line offers satin bombers, sweater knits, t-shirts, halters,
and layered tank tops. Choice Calvin Klein is branding
itself as a young contemporary lifestyle brand.
The fall line by Costa stays true to the Calvin Klein
brand: clean, supple, luxurious clothes made for city
life. The fall wardrobe is rich in detail, finish, and
texture, with a slim, somewhat sixties silhouette. The
line includes sleek navy suits with small jackets, and
just above the knee skirts, black cashmere, and A-line
fur combining mink and shearling. Even the basics consist
of satin roll necks, and lean pants.
Both the 2005 Spring Collection and Fall Collection are
worth having a look at. Fabulous fashion ideas worth considering.
