SHOPPING: CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION AT DSM NY

I always think of a creative process as a way to refine your vision and capture its essence. Looking at the Fall Winter Calvin Klein Collection displayed at Dover Street Market NY, I couldn’t help but think of this decade under the creative direction of Italo Zucchelli and how this constant conversation between the massive Calvin Klein heritage and Italo’s vision has grown. The twenty-one pieces displayed on the ground floor of DSM inside a special installation made of felt are a clear expression of simplicity, modernity and avant-garde. Since taking over a decade ago, Italo Zucchelli has constantly worked on elevating the brand’s core, building a slick, structured and sometimes insolent silhouette. His passion for unusual fabrics and textures has also reached another new level with wool sweaters moulded on resin or laser-cut leather letters. The craftsmanship is absolutely striking. Dover Street Market will showcase this special installation for about three weeks including three exclusive pieces (bomber, hoodie and sweatshirt). And a selection of looks from the Fall Winter collection.
