متن يادداشت

"In The House of Klein, fashion writer and industry insider Lisa Marsh offers a warts-and-all expose of the kid from the Bronx who rose from copy boy at Women's Wear Daily to the head of a $3 billion corporation built on the power of sex. First grabbing attention in the 1970s, Klein revolutionized the industry by offering designer jeans at affordable prices. But it was his advertisements, more than his designs, which would land him on the front page." "Attacked from all sides - by conservative pro-family groups and feminist organizations, among many others - Klein continued to question American taste and morality. But his success eventually led to scrutiny of his personal life, and rumors sprung up about his sexuality, as well as alcoholism and his petty personal vendettas. Marsh uncovers the truth and the fiction behind these claims, revealing Klein as a more complicated figure than both his detractors and supporters would have us believe." "Much like the affecting yet disturbing images associated with his brand, Klein is a contradictory figure capable of both warm charm and icy wrath. As a businessman, he is either a calculated genius or a lucky bumbler whose company succeeds despite his meddling. Above all, he is an entrepreneur who knows that sex sells. The House of Klein presents a revealing portrait of the man behind the brand - an inscrutable giant of the fashion industry who influence continues to shape the American cultural landscape."--Jacket.
