# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Calvin Richard Klein was born November 19, 1942. In 1968, he launched the company that would carry his name into closets and bathrooms worldwide. What began with clothing expanded into perfumes, watches, and jewellery — each category bearing the same spare aesthetic and the same surname. He built a brand that made restraint feel expensive and turned basics into objects of desire.
