Simons has had a longstanding appreciation of The xx – Jamie Smith, Romy
Madley Croft and Oliver Sim – and was drawn to the band’s work with
McLellan on the music videos for “On Hold” and “Say Something Loving.”
Seeing a connection between the videos and his own work at CALVIN
KLEIN, Simons was pleased to collaborate on the third video of the
trilogy, lending his eye to the architectural and atmospheric elements
and utilizing an eclectic cast of CALVIN KLEIN collaborators.
The music video, which was filmed in Los Angeles at Lloyd Wright’s
Sowden house and John Lautner’s Rainbow House, opens with actress Millie
Bobby Brown, who currently appears in the Calvin Klein By
Appointment campaign, and also features Ashton Sanders,
currently featured in the men’s Spring 2017 Calvin Klein Underwear
advertising campaign; Paris Jackson, who attended this year’s
Costume Institute Benefit as a guest of the brand; and models Lulu and
Ernesto Cervantes, who each appear in advertising campaigns for
the brand as well as the Fall 2017 CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC
runway show.
The video debuts today on The xx’s YouTube channel. For more information
