Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein has imbedded itself in the American consciousness with its casual and complete lifestyle concept. Calvin Klein's unwavering vision of minimal designs and wearable urban styles are part of what make him an icon. The brand became known as much for its pioneering marketing and advertising campaigns as its minimalist fashions. He's also influenced many of the minimal-chic designers of the late twentieth century, including Miuccia Prada and Donna Karan, and remains one of the most recognizable designer names in the world.
