Calvin Klein bails on charity event because it’s too crowded

Does fashion icon Calvin Klein have a fear of crowds?

We’re told the designer turned up at Susanne Bartsch and David Barton’s toy drive at the Soho Grand Hotel, only to leave after four minutes because it was too packed.

“He literally walked in, went up the stairs and then turned around and walked right out, while photographers chased him down and tried to get photos,” said a spy.

“It was too crowded. He was there maybe all of a few minutes.”

Also at the event, now in its 11th year: Donna Karan, Vogue editor Hamish Bowles, fashion plate Patrick MacDonald, Nan Bush and Michael Musto.

A rep for Klein didn’t get back to us.
