Last week's trivia answer
I got my start in 1874, making and selling corsets. Today, based in New York, I'm a leading seller of sportswear, swimwear and intimate apparel to department stores, membership clubs, discounters, specialty stores and others. Brand names under my roof include Calvin Klein, Chaps, Lejaby, Nautica, Speedo, Warner's, Olga, Catalina, Anne Cole, Lifeguard and Michael Kors. Most I own or have licensed in perpetuity. I also operate 75 Calvin Klein underwear retail stores worldwide. Drowning in debt, I filed for bankruptcy protection in 2001, emerging in 2003. I've been growing briskly since then. Who am I?
