NEW YORK, NY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2013 – Calvin Klein Collection announced today that the
brands’ Women’s Creative Director, Francisco Costa, presented his
Spring 2014 Calvin Klein Collection on the runway at the new Spring
Studios in Tribeca earlier this afternoon. The
runway show was also streamed live on-line and can currently be viewed at calvinklein.com.
Mr. Costa
presented his latest collection, which marked his tenth year as the brand’s
Women’s Creative Director, to an audience that included special guests, Nicole
Kidman, Rooney Mara, Naomie Harris and Alexander Skarsgård –
all
of whom were wardrobed in Calvin Klein Collection looks.
“I was
thrilled to show my collection in this beautiful new space today,” said Mr.
Costa. “After a decade with the brand, I feel I have respected the legacy of
the house, while pushing it forward and I am invigorated for what lies ahead.”
The women’s Spring 2014 Calvin Klein Collection
represents a primitive, urban simplicity. Modern essentials are designed with a
deconstructive approach, met with astute precision. Elaborate thread work,
weaving and embroidery infuse texture and color into the collection grounded in
black and white. The contrast of primal and contemporary sensibilities
continues with the season's complementing accessories.
There were eight exclusive models in the runway
show, including Elodia, who both opened and closed the show, as
well as Anouk, Carolina S., Cindy, Cassi, Harper,
Kasia and Vera.
An after-party in honor of Mr.
Costa, to celebrate his Spring 2014 runway show and his ten years as the
Women’s Creative Director of the brand, will be held later this evening on a different floor of Spring Studios. The
event will also serve as the global launch of the new fragrance DOWNTOWN Calvin
Klein, of which Ms. Mara is the face of the just released campaign.
