  • Calvin Klein, Inc. Appoints Irish Apparel Specialists, Premium Golf Brands, As Global Licensee Submitted By: Medi8 Monday, 16 March 2009
    Calvin Klein, Inc. Appoints Irish Apparel Specialists, Premium Golf Brands, as Global Licensee Submitted by: Medi8 Monday, 16 March 2009 Premium Golf Brands to Develop Calvin Klein Golf Apparel and Accessories Range New York, USA & Cork, Ireland: Calvin Klein, Inc. (CKI) and Premium Golf Brands (PGB) today announced an agreement that appoints PGB as the official global licensee of Calvin Klein Golf. Appropriately for the Cork based company, the announcement was made just in time for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the presence of An Taoiseach Brian Cowen. The agreement was announced following a breakfast in New York City honouring Ireland’s Prime Minister, Brian Cowen who is leading a trade mission to the U.S. The event was hosted by Enterprise Ireland, the Government Agency responsible for driving leadership and growth for innovative Irish companies in international markets. The exclusive multi year licensing agreement allows PGB to source, manufacture, and distribute Calvin Klein Golf apparel for men and women. The license also includes the right to introduce other Calvin Klein Golf accessories on a global basis. The men’s and women’s Calvin Klein Golf Spring 2009 range is available at retail now from leading golf specialty stores and resorts in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Finland, Turkey, and Sweden. A full European roll out of the brand is expected by the end of the next quarter, and it is planned that by Spring 2010, that the global distribution of Calvin Klein Golf will expand to reach the Middle East (Dubai), the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Premium Golf Brands, Europe’s largest golf apparel distributor, was the European distributor for the predecessor license since the Calvin Klein Golf brand was launched in early 2008.

    JON M. HUNTSMAN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS | UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY | SUMMER 2017 Jon M. Huntsman & Charles Koch provide $50 million gift, the largest in USU history BY PHOTO 2 HUNTSMAN ALUMNI MAGAZINE • SUMMER 2017 President Noelle Cockett announces the $50 million Huntsman/Koch gift at the 2017 Utah State University Commencement. Photo by Russ Dixon. 3 dean’s message Commencements are always memorable, especially for graduates and their families, but this year’s ceremony on May 6, 2017 marked an especially important milestone for USU and for the Huntsman School—the announcement of a $50 million gift from the Huntsman Foundation and the Charles Koch Foundation. This historic gift—the largest in the history of Utah State University—will be paid out over the course of ten years, and will support a four-fold expansion in our Huntsman Scholar program, six new faculty positions, and a new research center, the Center for Growth and Opportunity. Combined, these matching $25 million grants will create scholarships for nearly 500 students a year, and opportunities to travel, explore new ideas, and interact with outstanding faculty, alumni and business professionals. Ten years ago, when he made his first $25 million gift to USU’s College of Business, Jon Huntsman challenged us to produce students who can compete with the best and brightest anywhere in the world. The last decade has been a time of remarkable change, as we have sought to “get better fast”— better faculty, better facilities, and better students. Eight out of 10 of our faculty and nine out of 10 of our staff are new to the school in that period.

  • BRITAIN SO CRAZY for CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER CHAMPAGNE- THIEVES HAVE NICKED the LOT!! Submitted By: Brandnation Integrated Ltd Thursday, 2 July 2009
    BRITAIN SO CRAZY FOR CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER CHAMPAGNE- THIEVES HAVE NICKED THE LOT!! Submitted by: Brandnation Integrated Ltd Thursday, 2 July 2009 Never mind queuing outside of TopShop for the latest Kate Moss creation, designer brand crazy Briton's have gone one step further for the Launch of Christian 'King of Fashion' Audigier's new designer Champagne at Movida nightclub in London's West End. Some cheeky chappies have actually gone and stolen the lot - they shouldn't get far with the highly distinctive tattoo design inscribed bottles but never mind Britain, there's more on the way from France coming to your nearest top nightspots soon. Police were called to Movida nightclub in London’s West End on the afternoon of 1st August 2009 – just hours before the global launch of fashion guru Christian Audigier’s new Champagne range. The thieves were caught on the club’s cctv and police are now conducting a thorough investigation into the theft of the Champagne worth several thousand pounds. The launch went ahead anyway with Christian Audigier himself present with VIP guests including celebrities such as Peter Andre, Aleesha Dixon, Danni Behr, Jermaine Defoe, Blue’s Simon Webbe, Alan Carr, DJ Ironik, Bianca Gasgoigne – they mixed with clubgoers enjoying bottles of Christian Audigier fine wine - which has most definitely whetted their appetite for the Champagne that is now being shipped by special delivery to the UK and will be available shortly from leading nightspots and clubs plus selected quality drinks outlets. ABOUT CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER Christian Audigier is an acknowledged style genius – having contributing to the success of iconic brands such as Diesel, Fiorucci and Naf Naf before masterminding the huge global success of Von Dutch and latterly overseeing the rise and rise of the distinctive Ed Hardy fashion brand beloved of hundreds of celebrities, actors and musicians including Britney Spears, and Kanye West.
