And so the fashion merry-go-round continues to spin. Will it ever stop? The latest to drop off are Francisco Costa and Italo Zuchelli as they say goodbye to Calvin Klein after a combined effort of 25 years. I think? Maths was never my strong point. As always it begs the question – what next? The rumour mill is grinding furiously and already plenty of names have been thrown into the mix. One more than others – Raf Simons. We await with baited breath. For now, all we know is that the brand is apparently to be united under a single force. Steve Shiffman, CEO of Calvin Klein said in the announcement this afternoon, “this creative strategy marks the beginning of another significant chapter in Calvin Klein’s brand legacy since Mr. Klein’s retirement. I would like to thank Francisco and Italo for their unwavering commitment to the Calvin Klein brand and their accomplishments over the past decade. They have both contributed immensely to making Calvin Klein a global leader in the fashion industry, and they have done so with dedication, focus and creativity.” We wish Francisco and Italo the best of luck with whatever is next.
