Calvin Klein 205W39NYC × Raf Simons

Raf Simons joined Calvin Klein in 2016 as the American brand's Chief Creative Officer, subsequently launching its high-end Calvin Klein 205W39NYC line, which refers to the CK corporate headquarters in NYC. The Calvin Klein x Raf Simons partnership lasted two years, with Simons leaving in 2018 to focus on his eponymous label before joining Prada in 2020.

The Raf Simons x Calvin Klein 205W39NYC was short-lived but no less fruitful. Standout items from the four collections were the pieces released in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation and an extensive range of knitwear, reflecting Simons' punk approach to fashion mixed with vintage Americana.
