Calvin Klein is in hot water yet again after a provocative billboard for its womenswear and menswear jeans line was unveiled in New York this week. The racy ad which depicts a young female semi-naked model lying across one man and kissing another has caused uproar amongst appalled Manhattanites. However CK designers are at a loss to see the problem.
“It’s my favorite campaign ever!” said CK menswear designer, Italo Zucchelli. “I hope they’re going to be, ‘Ooooh, what is that?’ And then they buy our jeans. In the best tradition of Calvin Klein.”

Designer Fashions, designer pick of the week, dresses
By Andrea Thatcher on June 3rd, 2008
In honor of Francisco Costa’s win for womenswear with his Calvin Klein Collection at the CFDA awards, we chose a dress from his spring 2008 collection for our designer pick of the week.
While most of the collection was comprised of whites and neutrals, we really loved the blue-greens that Costa wove throughout the presentation – like this spectra satin organza strapless dress.
The color really popped and is the perfect thing for spring and summer. It’s easy to go to blues and reds to compliment your whites, but if you’re feeling more fashion and less yankee doodle, teal and sea blue shades are perfect.

Even at the celebratory Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards last night, the memory of legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent was not far from the industry’s mind.
Inspired by Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking Suit and one of the night’s winners, Ashley Olsen donned a Calvin Klein resort 09 tuxedo. Naomi Campbell topped that by wearing vintage YSL, and CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg also wore the symbolic style including a vintage YSL jacket.
