At his standout debut for Calvin Klein, Raf Simons conjured a new American dream .
OF COURSE! What could possibly be more Calvin Klein than Raf Simons’s debut for the American super-brand, which proved to be the highlight of the A/W 2017 New York collections? With a pair of red marching-band pants, a white polo-neck, a sky-blue western shirt (see what he did there?) and metal-tipped cowboy boots, the 49-year-old Belgian designer seemingly obliterated everything else that came before him. It’s an “homage to America”, stated Simons in the show notes. “All of these different people with different styles and dress codes. It’s the future, the past ... the city, the American west ... all of these things and none of these things ... It is the coming together of different characters and different individuals, just like America itself. It is the unique beauty and emotion of America.”
