NEW YORK -- January 31, 2013

PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) announced today that Calvin Klein’s first-ever
commercial during Super Bowl XLVII will introduce the new Calvin Klein
Underwear Spring 2013 global advertising campaign. The high-profile television
placement is set to air during the big game broadcast on Sunday, February 3,
2013, in support of the launch of Calvin Klein Concept, the brand’s latest
men’s product offering. “By making this high profile marketing investment, PVH
is demonstrating its commitment to fueling the growth of the entirety of the
Calvin Klein franchise and illustrating the first step towards a more unified
brand vision once the Warnaco acquisition is completed,” said Manny Chirico,
Chairman and CEO of PVH Corp.

The provocative commercial depicts model Matthew Terry as the iconic archetype
in a modern “man versus machine” creative inspired by the 360º seamless
technology construction of the new men’s Calvin Klein Concept line. Shot in
New York City, the sexy campaign video was conceived and directed by
consulting creative director Fabien Baron of Baron + Baron, working with
Calvin Klein’s in-house global marketing and advertising agency. The
attention-grabbing commercial will air towards the end of the first quarter of
Super Bowl XLVII.

“We are a brand with a rich advertising legacy and we firmly believe in
powerful, multi-platform lifestyle advertising to support and grow the brand’s
image around the world,” said Tom Murry, President & CEO, Calvin Klein, Inc.
“This is a significant milestone, and, as an iconic American designer brand,
we are extremely proud to be able to debut the latest Calvin Klein Underwear
campaign during the Super Bowl – the most watched television event annually in
the United States.”

For the powerful and masculine print campaign, Mr. Terry was captured by
renowned photographer Steven Klein. Taking cues from the new seamless
underwear line, both the video and print advertisements emphasize innovation,
movement and perfection.

On game day, all of Calvin Klein’s official social media platforms – including
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and YouTube – will be transformed with the new
creative to further support the product launch. Complementing digital content
will also be shared throughout the championship game via Vine, Twitter’s new
video-sharing app. Once the commercial has aired, it will also be included in
Twitter’s #AdScrimmage and YouTube’s Ad Blitz contests for this year’s best
Super Bowl commercials as voted by the fans.

Following the Super Bowl, the Calvin Klein Concept :30 second commercial will
continue to air on CBS, as well as on other major networks, including ABC and
ESPN. Additional television spots are scheduled for outlets in Europe, Asia
and Mexico in the spring. In addition to key on-line placements on YouTube,
leading men’s websites and key portals, the creative will also appear in
numerous editions of GQ, Esquire and Men’s Health, and impactful outdoor
executions in the U.S., Mexico, Italy and Australia. Overall, the Spring 2013
campaign will reach 19 markets across North America, Europe and Asia, focusing
on the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France,
Japan, China, Hong Kong and Korea.

The new Calvin Klein Concept underwear line is currently available for
purchase in the U.S. on calvinklein.com and at the Calvin Klein Underwear
stores in Soho and Georgetown, as well as at select retailers around the
country. The product begins arriving in store at other select retailers around
the world and throughout the global network of Calvin Klein Underwear stores
the first week of February.

Calvin Klein Concept offers ultimate comfort, freedom and fit. Designed with
sleek precision, the new product assortment combines the technical with a
clean, minimalist aesthetic. The masculine line is all about mobility,
offering briefs, trunks and boxer briefs in breathable microfiber and cotton
stretch. All styles have a distinctive striped, continuous waistband echoing
the underwear’s seamless design. A limited offering of coordinating women's
Calvin Klein Concept silhouettes is also available.

Inspired by the line’s signature striped waistband, a product window on the
men’s Calvin Klein Concept box is designed as two transparent bands cutting
across the front and side panel. In addition, to further enhance the product’s
unified brand image, the advertising and packaging visuals were shot together
for the first time.

Mr. Terry is a personal trainer from Pennsylvania who was discovered in 2011
after being named co-winner of the annual VMAN/Ford Model Search. His first
global advertising campaigns were for Calvin Klein Underwear Bold and Calvin
Klein Jeans for Spring 2012.

Super Bowl XLVII will broadcast nationally on CBS on February 3^rd from the
Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The Calvin Klein commercial will be
the only television spot from a designer fashion brand on this year’s Super
Bowl broadcast. According to Nielsen, the 2012 Super Bowl was the most-watched
television program in U.S. history, with over 111 million viewers – the
seventh straight year of increases in the Super Bowl’s television audience.
