Calvin Klein might be known for re-defining American style and pushing the envelope as far as provocative advertising goes—but the man is not known for granting interviews, at least lately. Instead, one’s more likely to flip a magazine page and find Francisco Costa chatting about his modernist take on the classic brand (like in our November issue, with Chloe Moretz). But Klein himself will be in the hot seat next Monday October 17th when he sits down for a talk with Fern Mallis, the former head of IMG Fashion Week (and current consultant). Mallis may be well loved by the industry but we expect her to ask some tough—and interesting!—questions of the design legend. She says they’ll talk about everyting from his childhood in the Bronx, to his earliest collections, celebrity clients, and career highs—with at least a few minutes devoted to Marky Mark! The two will chat at the 92nd Street Y in New York City at 8PM. Tickets are being sold for $29 online, or by calling (212) 415-5500.
