Richard Klein was born in the Bronx in 11.19.1942 as a child of Hungarian-Jewish immigrants. He started his studies at the Industrial Art Middle School, and continued at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, where he finished in 1962, without graduating. He was designing and working for boutiques for 5 years, then he could start the Calvin Klein brand with the 10,000$ he got from his friend, as help to launch his business. Because of a lucky accident of Bonwit Teller's manager's elevator getting stuck on Calvin Klein's floor, they gained hundreds of thousands of dollars of investments, and in 4 years they made over 4 million dollars in revenue. This year created the company that later changed its name to Calvin Klein Inc.
