This season, the Calvin Klein Collection presents a collection that reinterprets essential references inherent to the brand’s DNA, deconstructing and modernizing iconic staples for today. Drawing from the brand’s roots in tailoring, outerwear, workwear and slip dressing, the Pre-Spring 2017 collection embodies a light, youthful and sensual spirit. Silhouettes are loose and layered, with rounded or slashed sleeves and empire waists that are belted and voluminous. Feminine and playful micro and macro dot and miniature garden floral prints are rendered in luxurious silk, leather, knit and cotton poplin fabrics. A neutral palette of cloud, sand, dune, cognac and apricot dominates the collection and is complemented by clean black and gravel accents. Soft spazzolato leather oxfords and ankle boots ground each look, underscoring the sense of utilitarianism that pervades the collection.
