Haute Concept

For S/S 08 Calvin Klein Collection designer Italo Zucchelli presented a sports heavy collection.

Fabrics of cotton, jersey and lycra were mixed with Zucchelli’s embrace of new techno-fabrics.

Blazers and jackets gave some formality to the collection that included jumpsuits and pants with drawstrings at the waist and ankles. Leather pants had zip-up ribbed cuffs.

Zucchelli continued with the emphasis on tights from the S/S 07 collection. However this time around they they were reinvented as shorts, though still paired with jackets.

Waist length jackets with double zippers off center dominated the outwear.

A color palette of tans, blacks and greys was given infusions of blue and peach and metallics.
