Calvin klein created the attire for Jean
It is also an example of a designer brand vying to dress the staff of a hot restaurant, where uniforhave become as much a part of the décor as the dinner plates. Calvin Klein created the attire for Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Perry St. Yohji Yamamoto outfitted the staff at Nobu 57. Betsey Johnson dresses the employees of Employees Only. A complete woMen's ck underwear line followed in 1983. Each season since then, the brand has delivered a new line including basics jtyukut, basics in fashion colors, as well as fashion-forward, trendy Calvin klein to their customers.
For employees, the uniforcould be considered a perk, but that depends on the restaurant. At Perry St., Kevin Carrigan of Calvin Klein designed a uniform of slim black trousers, white shirts and skinny black ties, pinned with a Tiffany silver clip, to reflect the 1960's airport lounge design. The clothes come from the lower-priced division, not the collection shown on the runway. (The same men's pants cost $68, and the shirt is $42.50 at Macy's; women's styles are $150 for pants and $100 for a shirt.)
Shortly after buying Calvin Klein, in 2003, Phillips-Van Heusen closed the house's sample-making rooon West 39th Street and moved those operations to Italy, where the clothes were being produced under a license.
