Calvin Klein
(1942 -)
American Designer, creator of hemp fashion lines
... “I believe that hemp is going to be the fiber of choice in both the home
furnishings and fashion industries.”. -- Calvin Klein.
Supporters say hemp is a good fiber for textiles because it is stronger than cotton, warmer than linen and more absorbent than nylon.
Last year, imported hemp products made more than $25 million in sales. Designer Ralph Lauren disclosed he secretly used hemp fabric for his clothing as early as 1984. Calvin Klein predicted hemp will become the "fiber of choice" and Georgio Armani said he is developing a line of sportswear made from hemp fabric.
