Calvin Klein is closing Milan’s Office

Following the discontinuation of its 205W39NYC line in January, Calvin Klein is going to shut down its Collection business altogether. The brand’s Milan office will be closed, affecting 50 people, with another 50 being laid off in New York.

Michelle Kessler-Sanders, president of Calvin Klein Collection and 205W39NYC since 2015, will leave the company in June. As reported, Belgian designer Raf Simons left in December, about eight months before the expiration of his contract.

At the time, the PVH-owned brand announced a relaunch of its designer collection.
