The brand also includes clothing, fragrances, home accessories and cosmetics. However, fragrances and cosmetic lines were soon discontinued from the market because of heavy financial losses. During 1980s Klein changed the American market of men underwear totally from the market where wives and mothers used to purchase white underwear's to one where the American men started caring about the brand of the underwear they wear. Also, advertising played a major role in the success of Calvin Klein. Klein was the first designer to make women’s underwear resembling men’s jockey shorts. The brand has a net worth of $700 million.
