History of PVH Corp.

PVH Corp. was founded in 1881 by Moses Phillips and Laird Van Heusen as a shirt manufacturing company in New York. The company began as a small operation producing high-quality dress shirts and neckwear. Phillips-Van Heusen developed a reputation for quality craftsmanship and innovative shirt designs, establishing itself as a leading American apparel manufacturer.

Throughout the 20th century, Phillips-Van Heusen expanded its product range and retail presence while maintaining its commitment to quality.

In 2002, PVH acquired Calvin Klein for approximately $400 million, significantly expanding its brand portfolio into the luxury fashion segment.

In 2006, the company officially renamed itself PVH Corp. to reflect its evolution into a multi-brand fashion conglomerate. In 2010, PVH acquired Tommy Hilfiger for $3 billion, further strengthening its position as a major global fashion holding company.
