Hi, I'm Art and Fanning Andrews, Vogue's beauty editor at large. eBay is one of the places where it ends up factoring so much into my fashion month because it lets me find pieces that I know aren't just pushed on me because it's a trend that's happening at the moment. There's an element of discovery with eBay where I'll find something new that excites me.

This is The Run Through, and I'm Nicole Phelps.

Today, we have a very special guest.

I had the rare opportunity to sit down for a long-form conversation with the one-and-only Mr. Calvin Klein, a designer who dressed America and the world in his designer jeans and logo underwear.

A designer who broke all the rules of luxury advertising and in the process became a household

name.

Whether it was Brooke Shields asking, you know what comes between me and my Calvin's?

Nothing.

Or a topless marking mark and Kate Moss circling each other for

Lensman Stephen Mizell. And a designer whose streamlined slipdresses and sleek suits, even after over

20 years of retirement, still define American minimalism, providing a template for young designers of

today. Calvin Klein, who is now 82, came to the Condinas Studios to talk about his early days in the Bronx,

where he lived not far from a young Ralph Lauren, who he likes to point out, is indeed older than him,

his design legacy, his quest for perfection, and the keys to his unparalleled success.

Two words, confidence, and drive.

I grew up on Calvin Klein ads.

I wore obsession and then I wore eternity.

He didn't just shape what I thought of as beautiful.

His work propelled me into the world of magazines and fashion.

So this is a truly thrilling interview for me.

Welcome, Calvin Klein.

It is such a thrill to have you on the run through.
