Titled “Graphic Heatwave”, the Calvin Klein Collection Spring 2016 menswear collection evoked an industrial spirit as traditional sportswear pieces were updated with Velcro attachments.
Italo Zucchelli, Men’s Creative Director for the brand presented a collection of 40 looks of quintessential menswear silhouettes that were infused with vibrant and energetic design details and grounded in relaxed utilitarianism.
A neutral palette of linden, boxwood, black and white served as a strong base for the collection, and was interjected with stonewashed denim-inspired pieces reinterpreted in engineered jacquard and bonded cotton.
Graphic, sleeveless t shirts featuring a striking multi-color wave design or playful palm tree print injected a hint of spontaneity. High and low top double strap sandals in smooth calf were worn with an engineered sport sock to complement the overall feeling of formal utility.
The iconic stonewashed denim jacket and jean are reinterpreted in engineered jacquard and bonded cotton for a modern, elevated iteration of the American staple.
T-shirts inject a hint of spontaneity, with styles that are rendered in laminated jersey and metallic nylon or that display a playful palm tree print.
Graphic, sleeveless t-shirts feature a striking multi-color wave design and are worn under transparent wool viscose sweaters.
For evening, tuxedo pieces are mixed and matched; pairing pleated lapel jackets and solid satin pants with their classic counterparts.
