| Designer Holdings Ltd. develops, sources and markets designer sportswear lines for men, juniors and women and petites under the Calvin Klein Jeans, CK/Calvin Klein Jeans and CK/Calvin Klein Jeans Khakis labels. The Company's products target youthful, culturally conscience consumers and capitalize on the cachet and image created by over 20 years of extensive image advertising for Calvin Klein, one of the world's most influential designers. The Company collaborates with the in-house design teams of Calvin Klein, Inc. to create products characterized by high quality and casual, contemporary fashion. Each of the Company's lines combines both basic and fashion items in a broad range of casual fabrications, including jeans, khakis, knit and woven tops and bottoms, T-shirts, shorts, fleece shirts and pants, outerwear such as leather and denim jackets, caps and related accessories.
