CALVIN KLEIN FALL 2018 COLLECTION, A VIEW OF AMERICAN SOCIETY

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- Calvin Klein chief creative officer, Raf Simons presented his fall 2018 Calvin Klein 205W39NYC runway show at the American Stock Exchange in New York City, last evening.

The show titled ‘Landscapes’ was staged in an epic and unreal terrain simultaneously recalling a cinematic soundstage.

The collection is an evolution of Simons’s idea of Calvin Klein, of a view onto American society but now wider and universal.

“It’s an allegory for a meeting of old worlds and new worlds, relating to the discovery of America, the 1960’s space race, and the 21st century information age.

“More than anything else, this collection is about freedom. A word that defines America, and Calvin Klein,” Simons was quoted as saying in a statement.

The collection and venue also showcased the ongoing and multi-level collaboration between Calvin Klein and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes characters, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, originally shown as shorts in cinemas from 1949, are also featured on select garments.
