Calvin Klein Collection presented their Fall 2015 Calvin Klein Collection runway show at Milan.
A powerful, masculine spirit pervaded the fall collection, with looks executed in extreme proportions and rich fabrics like bonded flannel, mélange wool and cashmere, and printed tweed. Outerwear was the focus, juxtaposing voluminous double breasted overcoats, parkas and capes with cropped shearling collar aviator jackets. The monochromatic palette was inspired by black and white films – a gray spectrum ranging from light heather, granite, charcoal heather and anthracite – and was modernized with glossy vinyl and animal print surfaces. Smooth calf and patent leather field boots complemented the overall feeling of rugged utilitarianism.
Exclusive to the show were 10 models, including American model Clark Bockelman, who is currently featured in the brands’ Spring 2015 advertising campaign; Filip Hrivnak, who opened and closed the show; and French Canadian actor Pier-Gabriel Lajoie.
Calvin Klein Collection hosted a private dinner last night in honor of the brands’ Men’s Creative Director, Italo Zucchelli, to celebrate his Fall 2015 runway show in Milan. The dinner was held on the 25th floor of a newly constructed building located in the Porta Nuova Varesine neighbourhood. The space boasts a modern aesthetic with floor to ceiling windows that allow breathtaking 360-degree views of the city.
The special event also served as the global launch of the new fragrance REVEAL Men Calvin Klein, of which Charlie Hunnam, who was in attendance, is the face of the campaign.
As previously announced, Calvin Klein Collection runway show was live streamed and will be available at swomagazine.com.
