Calvin Klein has launched a collection in collaboration with the UK brand Palace. Based on skateboarding culture, the collection features Palace’s designs that give a fresh look to a range of Calvin Klein items, from underwear to jeans, t-shirts, fleeces and lingerie.
Featuring Calvin Klein’s classic palette of black, grey, white and beige, the collection sports a specially designed logo blending the Calvin Klein lettering with Palace’s signature triangle logo, the Tri-Ferg. It will be available from April 8 at Palace stores in London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo, and on both labels’ e-shops. Its style is a tribute to the Ck look of the 1990s. The denim items feature a deliberately pale, washed-out look, with contemporary details adding a new twist.
The highlight of the collection is the reformulated version of the unisex fragrance from Ck One. The launch campaign was filmed by photographer Alasdair McLellan with Max Pearmain as art director. It features an international cast that includes cultural icons like Willem Dafoe, Dame Joan Collins and the Pet Shop Boys, the Palace Skate family with Lola Leon, Adwao Aboah, Precious Lee and rapper Unknown T.
