MILAN,
ITALY, JANUARY 13, 2013 – Calvin Klein Collection announced today that the brands’
Men’s Creative Director, Italo Zucchelli, presented his Fall 2013 Calvin
Klein Collection runway show at the company’s European headquarters earlier
this afternoon.
Mr. Zucchelli presented 38
looks to an audience that included actor Justin Theroux and New York
Giants’ Victor Cruz, who were each wardrobed in looks designed by
Mr. Zucchelli.
Speaking
after the show, Mr. Zucchelli said that rich surface texture gives depth without bulk and
added definition to silhouettes. Tailoring is precise and
volumes are controlled. Throughout the collection, sportswear references
eveningwear and vice versa in a mix of technical surfaces and
classic menswear patterns – like houndstooth, herringbone and basketweave. Rich
and luxe textures contrast sleek surfaces. Overall the palette
is deep and dark, with monochromatic layers of oxblood and midnight amid
classic shades of charcoal and light heather.
Photographer, blogger, and model Hanneli Mustaparta,
who is a contributor to Calvin Klein’s official Tumblr® blog, was also on hand
and wardrobed in Calvin Klein Collection. For the
men’s runway show, Ms. Mustaparta posted insider and behind the scenes photos of
the Fall 2013 collection on the brand’s Tumblr®. Please visit calvinklein.tumblr.com

As previously
announced, the runway show was live streamed and is now available at explore.calvinklein.com.
