KITH AND CALVIN KLEIN JOIN FORCES ONCE AGAIN

by Stephen Garner

For fall 2021, Kith and Calvin Klein join forces once again on a unique partnership that infuses design elements from both New-York based brands. The Kith for Calvin Klein 2021 collection includes new iterations of co-branded underwear as well as new loungewear silhouettes in elevated fabrics and textures. 

Naomi Campbell stars in the Kith for Calvin Klein campaign, which was shot by Campbell Addy at the historic Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan. Campbell is featured in key styles including the men’s seasonal briefs, the women’s LS bralette, and the women’s seasonal underwear set.

The full men’s line includes luxe loungewear designed to be worn both around the home and out. Pajama sets and thick terry fabric robes debut with the line in a monogram hero print that ties back to the classic briefs. The collection also includes signature Kith silhouettes such as the 250 GSM cotton jersey, crafted for a super soft and comfortable hand feel, the Williams I Hoodie, Williams I Zip-Up Hoodie, short sleeve and long sleeve Lax Tees, and Williams I Sweatpant updated in new colorways with cobranded Calvin Klein x Kith logo detailing. 

The women’s offering includes curated loungewear and intimate pieces designed for all-day comfort and functionality. Classic Kith Alexa Hoodies and Chelsea Sweatpants are reimagined through a Calvin Klein lens and finished with a Calvin Klein and Kith co-branded elastic trim.  The Kith women’s Mulberry Tee is updated in a true lounge-weight fabric inspired by the Calvin Klein boy short. New terry robes with hood and self-tie detailing are also introduced this season alongside new underwear silhouettes including a ribbed high leg tanga and bralette as well as a long-sleeved bralette. Two color stories are interwoven throughout the men’s and women’s collections: the established Kith colors of Battleship, Molecule, and Vision as well as shades of indigo inspired by Calvin Klein’s iconic denim.

This is the second iteration of Kith for Calvin Klein. The campaign will be featured on Calvin Klein’s famous billboard on Houston Street in New York, as well as on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles. The collection releases Friday, September 17th at all Kith shops and on kith.com.
