One of the major menswear brands to opt for not bringing its full collection to the recent CFDA New York Fashion Week: Men’s, Calvin Klein nonetheless compromised by showcasing Italo Zucchelli’s autumn 2016 eveningwear capsule during a special presentation.
The collection’s runway show, which debuted during Milan Men’s Fashion Week last month, offered formal men’s eveningwear that maintained the spirit and messaging of the brand.
The capsule consisted of tuxedos and outerwear exquisitely tailored and rendered in rich fabrics, sumptuous textures and unexpected accents. The lustrous silver, gold and rose gold metal foil that infused the runway collection with such a vibrant energy was also incorporated throughout the capsule, as well as in the presentation’s set. Calf-framed derby shoes were worn with each look, while earrings and necklaces mirrored after bolts and screws amplified the sense of masculine sensuality that permeates the season.
Notable guests in attendance and wardrobed in Calvin Klein Collection included independent hip-hop recording artist Joey Bada$$, who is currently featured in the Spring 2016 Calvin Klein global advertising campaign; actor Ben Walker; New York Jets’ Eric Decker; DJ Brendan Fallis and musician Mack Wilds, as well as men’s ambassadors New York Giants’ Victor Cruz and Johannes Huebel.
