On Tuesday, May 19, Calvin Klein announced the 'Jung Kook for Calvin Klein' limited capsule collection, a partnership with global brand ambassador and worldwide pop icon, Jung Kook. This marks Jung Kook's first-ever fashion collaboration.
This capsule further develops a long-standing relationship as a brand ambassador, reinterpreting Calvin Klein's iconic essential items through his own personal style. It merges the brand's sophisticated design language with Jung Kook's rebellious edge.
'I've expressed myself with the brand's iconic styles through my partnership with Calvin Klein, so it was very exciting to engage with them in a more personal and creative way,' commented Jung Kook. 'As my first fashion collaboration, I was deeply involved in the production process, reflecting my own identity in all the items while leveraging Calvin Klein's design characteristics. This capsule expresses my style and love for motorcycles, and I feel I've created something lasting through design and storytelling.'
The capsule fuses biker style elements with Calvin Klein's traditional design codes, comprising a total of 20 men's and women's styles. Centered on underwear and denim, the lineup includes a 90s trucker jacket, 90s straight and low-rise baggy denim, graphic T-shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, and a racer jacket. Distressed details and racing stripes add a vintage feel and edge to the collection. Furthermore, details that enhance its collectibility are featured throughout, such as a special logo, a woven name tag, subtle embroidery, graphics inspired by Jung Kook, custom denim washes, and exclusive packaging.
David Savman, Calvin Klein's Global Brand President, stated, 'This collaboration is a highly impactful initiative that merges Jung Kook's overwhelming influence with Calvin Klein's iconic brand codes. Through his perspective, we've expressed individuality and a passion for motorcycles with the brand's aesthetic. The fusion of both presents a new icon image that is modern, deeply resonant with culture, and has global appeal.'
The collaboration is launched with a cinematic campaign, photographed by Alasdair McLellan. It expresses Jung Kook's charisma and rebellious spirit within a biker-themed world, creating immersive visuals where his image as a modern icon, symbolizing the freedom of riding on the open road, merges with the brand's confident perspective.
