For Fall/Winter 2008-09 the Calvin Klein Collection had a futuristic industrial vibe.
Creative director Italo Zucchelli takes traditional sportswear and transforms it into modern relevance while somehow keeping it refined.
Luxurious fabrics with modern treatments added twists to garments which were cut to enhance the figure. One emerald green fabric stuck out as the way it seem to fade in and out.
Jackets included high lapel, three button overcoats which were understated chic. A motorcycle jacket was remade in a shingled nylon ribon action sort of way that made it must have and was incorporated into footwear.
Zip-front turtleneck tops stretched up the neck as other tops looked like scarves were incorporated into the top as one garment.
All in all, a well cut, clean collection but nothing strikes us and particularly new. We have no question about Zucchelli’s role at Calvin Klein as he follows the namesake’s aesthetic. But while we understand his reluctance to step outside the box, we wish he would at least get near the edge.
MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP.
