Calvin Klein Underwear Opens Freestanding Retail Store in Washington, D.C.

Calvin Klein Underwear, a division of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (NYSE: WRC) and Calvin Klein, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH), announced today that Calvin Klein Underwear’s first freestanding retail store in Washington, D.C. is now open.

Located in historic Georgetown at 3207 M Street, N.W., the store offers a full range of Calvin Klein men's and women's underwear and sleepwear, in a welcoming, boutique environment. Like the brands’ other stores, the shop is focused on customer service and offers complimentary bra fittings to its customers.

The design aesthetic for Calvin Klein Underwear’s new Georgetown store follows the global concept for the brands’ signature store design. The space is defined by clean lines and has distinct men’s and women’s areas. The glass, white gloss, and mirror-polished stainless steel fixtures were designed exclusively for Calvin Klein Underwear stores and complement the store’s sleek, black glass walls. Custom stamped metal panels and a unique window treatment finish the sexy, sophisticated interior. Currently, the store showcases visuals of the new Calvin Klein Naked Glamour advertising campaign featuring Dutch supermodel Lara Stone, who was shot by renowned photographer, Patrick Demarchelier.

To celebrate Fashion’s Night Out 2011 this Thursday, September 8th, Jene Luciani, celebrity style expert and author of The Bra Book, will be at the store to provide custom one-on-one consultations throughout the evening. The celebration begins at 6:00pm and a limited number of signed copies of her book will be available as a special gift with purchase.
