Heron Preston is one of the most influential creatives out there, there are few people that wouldn’t be familiar with his instantly recognisable orange strip logo. As he drops his second collection with Calvin Klein; it’s clear that it’s an obvious pairing. Two unmistakable identities, this is a fusion of design where one only serves to amplify the other, and vice versa. Its’ a collection of over stated simplicity, with a focus on fabric and texture; simple but interesting colour ways, that only serve to enhance the appeal of that iconic orange strip; and oversized, easy silhouettes.

“For Fall, it was about introducing new materials and dissected, timeless essentials that are interesting. We thought about how Calvin Klein shows up in the world, in a modern way. What I love most about Season 2 is the versatility of each piece and the different styling options through the layering that we designed into the collection.” – Heron Preston.

A modern take on a timeless, iconic brand, the collaboration includes a campaign video shot by award-winning director and filmmaker Ricky Saiz, the campaign captures a new perspective and celebrates youth culture. Featuring internationally renowned rapper Nas, who is the voice over for the film, which is reminiscent of the 90s.
