KLEIN 205W39NYC runway show last night in New York
“This collection is an evolution of
my idea of CALVIN KLEIN - of a view onto American society - but now
wider, universal. It’s an allegory for a meeting of old worlds and
new worlds, relating to the discovery of America, the 1960s Space
Race, and the twenty-first century information age. Reflecting the
notion of democracy, there is no cultural hierarchy: the mixes
emancipate clothing and references from their meanings, from their
own narratives, and collage them to discover something different -
a different dream. More than anything else, this collection is
about freedom. A word that defines America, and CALVIN KLEIN.” -
Raf Simons, February 13, 2018
Titled LANDSCAPES, the Fall 2018 CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC
show was staged in an epic and unreal terrain simultaneously
recalling a cinematic soundstage. The backdrop draws on CALVIN
KLEIN’S recent history, but reconfigured: fragments of Sterling
Ruby’s installations for the brand appeared against parts of the
nineteenth century prairie barn featured in the CALVIN KLEIN
205W39NYC Spring 2018 campaign; the barn walls are papered with
billboard-scale images of the artworks by Andy Warhol used in the
same collection; beside them, air-duct tubing emerges, an alien
touch of the scientific or laboratorial. The floor is carpeted with
deep drifts of popcorn: from a distance, it resembles snow.
The collection and venue showcased the ongoing and multi-level
collaboration between CALVIN KLEIN and The Andy Warhol Foundation
for the Visual Arts. Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes characters Wile E.
Coyote and Road Runner, originally shown as shorts in cinemas
from 1949, are also featured on select garments. The latter recall
childhood innocence, the all-important idea of American Youth, and
they can also be seen as a parable of the pursuit of the American
Dream.
