My medium of expression is business. I have heard it said that everyone wants and needs money. For me, doing business feels more like a calling. I began my first business when I was in 10th grade. Like many teens, I had a pile of Pokemon cards that had fascinated me when I was young, but now were just taking up space in my closet. I began to sell the cards on eBay and was surprised to see my first card sold for $20. I thought -- if one of my ordinary cards sold for $20, imagine how much of a profit I could garner if I actually found some rare cards! I learned Japanese Pokemon cards were the 'hottest' item amongst American collectors. I used Yahoo Japan, a kind of Japanese eBay, and bought Pokemon cards from Japanese people at a low price point. I was able to resell cards at a premium price to Americans on eBay. While still in high school I became a top-rated seller on eBay, meaning I sold more than $12,000 in merchandise in 3 months.

I know that if I love what I do in business, I will never 'work' a day in my life, no matter how many hours I labor at my desk, as every day will be rewarding.

What a pity, for today, the dress would perhaps

In 1968, with the help of his long-time friend Barry Schwartz, Klein took the leap and fulfilled his entrepreneurial dream ("Calvin Klein"). With his own company, Klein was able to pursue his vision of what fashion could be. At first, the company designed women's coats, but it soon branched out into other areas. Klein applied the simple, clean lines of his coats to women's sportswear, producing practical yet fashionable clothes.
1950s Fashions Fashion and makeup trends in the 1950s reflected shifts in popular culture and were heavily influenced by film stars and television. A thriving youth culture contributed to changes in fashion, which were generally less conservative than in past decades.
