Hairstyles for Men

Hairs are most the important aspects of Men's Fashion, no matter how well you are dressed up, they play a crucial role in camouflaging the shape of your face. There are different hairstyles to look at and i know you are more interested in the one that suits you the most. No human beings have the same facial type, and so there are few things to note when styling your hairs. Identifying the face type lets you to identify the perfect look that suits you the most, and thus subsiding the confusing choices few people have:

Let's see the different face type's:
Oval - This is the best face type from all, which supports almost every hairstyle and you could be lucky if you have one. You can make them grow long, short and or mid length. It just looks perfect. This is the shape everyone desires to have.

Square - This type of face is actually broader near the chin and forehead and thus making it more squarish, for this type i would suggest short or mid-length as to minimize the broadness of the forehead and make it look slightly oval. Let the hairs fall on the edges of your forehead and slightly cover your forehead more or less.

Rectangle - This type is similar to the previous with little more height to it. I hope you guys can understand without much confusion. For this type i would recommend long hairs, as it will stick with the length of your face and give a feeling of reduced face length.

Angular - Angular faces have broad cheeks with pointed chin. Mid-length best suits this face anotomy.

Circular - The name itself describes how the face would be like. I strongly recommend a long or mid-length and say BIG NO to short length. As short hairs tend to make your face look more bigger and bubbly. It's the least desirable type for both genders.

You can keep experimenting with different hairstyles and understand the best that suits you, as there is no harm in experimenting. But remember not to overdo and use common sense. I may have asked to experiment, that doesn't mean you cut your them so short that it takes month's to get them back to where they were. Make sure they suit your personality. Remember that a college guy has more options to experiment than that of an employee.
For example: The CEO of some company can't just give different cuts, like a college student. In such cases you can try to improvize. This post is to assist you in choosing the correct style based on your face type and it's not a rule. Having a great style can make you feel great. So go and get a nice makeover, as they are the most integral part of fashion. If you are bald than there's not much that can be done. Proper grooming is essential, as they keep them live longer. Keep Rocking...

Brand Power- CK

History:
1968- Klien and his childhood friend Barry Schwartz founded Calvin Klein Ltd., in New York City with $10,000. Its just that a buyer from Bonwit Teller fortunately reached him placing a $50,000 order. The first collection was featured at the New York City store which had a line of men’s and women’s coats. He was also described as “the supreme master of minimalism”. In the early 70’s, he added sportswear, blazers and also lingerie to his women’s collection portfolio.

By 1977, annual revenues reached $30 million. Slowly and steadily scarves, shoes, belts, furs, sunglasses were included to the collection. After the company signed licenses for cosmetics, jeans, and menswear, Klein's annual retail volume was estimated at $100 million. 1981-Fortune magazine figured Klein’s annual income at $8.5 million per year. Calvin Klein than introduced a successful line of Boxer shorts for women, and a men’s underwear collection.
The company was having a good time in the early 80’s. Later financial problems increased and rumors spread that Calvin Klein Industries was up for sale. Calvin Klein had almost neared bankruptcy in 1992, but fortunately managed to regain and revive its empire.

Acquisition:
Phillips Van Heusen Corp. finally acquired Calvin Klein Inc. for nearly $400 million in cash and $30 million in stock as well as licensing and royalties linked to revenues over the following 15 yrs. The sale also included an ongoing personal financial incentive for Mr. Klein based on future sales of the Calvin Klein brand. Though CKI was not completely owned by PVH, since the jeans, underwear and swimwear business of Calvin Klein was controlled by Warnaco Group- producer of Speedo. They were apprehensive that PVH may take over CK completely.
Finally the day came when CK became the wholly owned subsidiary of PVH, thanks to Apax Partners Inc., a New York private equity firm, which is said to have made an equity investment in PVH worth $250 million in stock, and $125 million; all in exchange for seats on the board of PVH.

Licences:
June 2003- Kellwood Corp of Chesterfield, Missouri was selected by CKI as a strategic licensing partner to produce, source and distribute CK women's better sportswear line. Warnaco will assume the license for CK collection men's and women's apparel and accessories worldwide from Fingen beginning from 2008.However the deal wont have any impact on existing US licences with Kellwood Corp. for the CK women's better sportswear line and with GAV for the ck Calvin Klein bridge sportswear business.

In 90's, the Company opened stores in Paris, Seoul, and Taipei and ultra-fancy ck Calvin Klein stores in Hong Kong, Milan and Kuwait City. Presently only one Calvin Klein Collection store is operated by CKI, located at 654, Madison Avenue in New York City. There are several stores in Europe and Asia which only carry the ck sportwear line. Warnaco Group also maintains Calvin Klein jeans and other outlet stores. 2006- CK jeans boutiques in Cairo and Alexandria,Egypt. And three in Istanbul/Turkey.

Calvin Klein is also known for its popular line of fragrances. This part was maintained by Calvin Klein Cosmetics Company, a Unilever Company. But later Coty Inc.,a cosmetics leader took over the licensing agreements.

Advertising:
The company had slightly different marketting strategy from that of others. Their ads seemed to be controversial but anyhow had a glittering career for the models.One of the most fascinating ads was for the cKone perfume, 1999. The campaign displayed e-mail addresses in print ads, targetting the teenagers. When mails were sent to these addresses, the mailers e-ids would be placed on a mailing list which used to send them response mails containing the details pertaining to models lives, which were fake. However it was stopped in 2002.
