Calvin Klein has temporarily closed all of its European, US and Canadian stores until March 29 as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
It joins a growing list of retailers, including Burberry, Zara, Apple and Selfridges, who have either decided or have been forced to close stores as many countries go into lock-down to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
“Our top priority is the well-being of our associates, our customers and our communities around the world.” Calvin Klein chief executive Cheryl Abel-Hodges said in a letter to customers.
