New York, NY — July 27, 2005, — Calvin Klein, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation [NYSE: PVH], announced the planned closing of the Calvin Klein Collection store in Highland Park Village in Dallas, Texas today.

In keeping with our global retail strategy, the expansion of the Calvin Klein Collection stores will be more international in focus rather than national, as seen by the recent openings of new Calvin Klein Collection stores in Milan and Dubai. The continued focus for the U.S. business, is on further developing key wholesale accounts,” said Tom Murry, President & COO, Calvin Klein, Inc.
Within the past year, Calvin Klein Collection has added new freestanding store locations within three of the top fashion luxury markets in the world: Milan, Dubai, and Rome.
