History

Calvin Klein launched the denim line in 1978 as an extension of his eponymous fashion house. It gained immediate cultural significance through controversial advertising campaigns featuring Brooke Shields. This shift integrated high-fashion branding into the mass-market denim industry. Historically, the brand popularized the concept of designer jeans, transitioning denim from utilitarian workwear to a status symbol. Its minimalist approach influenced global fashion trends throughout the late twentieth century.
