Calvin Klein announces menswear move to New York

Calvin Klein have decided to move their menswear catwalk collection to New York this season instead of Milan. The company will still present their collection to retailers in Milan this coming January but the show itself will take place on the ground floor of the company's headquarters.
"As this is the year we have brought the Collection business back in house and will celebrate the company's 40th anniversary, we thought this was an appropriate time to change things up a bit," said Tom Murry, President & COO, Calvin Klein, Inc. He went on to add: "We see this as a great opportunity to support our U.S. business and retail partners and acknowledge our heritage in New York City."
The move isn't permanent but could be a sign that designers are getting a little concerned about retailers' spending during the economic downturn.
