How can I remove duplicate words in a string with Python?

Following example:

string1 = "calvin klein design dress calvin klein"

How can I remove the second two duplicates "calvin" and "klein"?

The result should look like

string2 = "calvin klein design dress"

only the second duplicates should be removed and the sequence of the words should not be changed!
