Hyper modernists celebrate spirited independence and uninhibited fashion playfulness in this Fall 2015 men’s and women’s collection of Calvin Klein platinum that features dramatic proportions and extreme opposites. Contradicting shapes are used in harmony, cut into volumetric squares and triangles, either worn away from the body or sculpted to it. Lengths range from maxi to mini, with amplified, exposed zippers applied for a tough, punk attitude. Layered styling also creates a new sense of sculptural freedom with twisted, futuristic elegance thrown in.
The fabrics show unexpected combinations with geometric shapes cut in soft, luxe materials like double face cashmere and while textile surfaces are reworked, like embossed alligator and printed python leather bonded to jersey; reversible teddy shearling; and distorted, woven alpacas bonded to felt. Optical prints and jacquards create linear, graphic interruptions, while seductive patterns add contrast. Patchwork and appliqué are applied to unique art tees, sweatshirts and soft blouses, putting these rare, distinguished pieces in a class of their own.
The palette is grounded by calcified whites, powdered chalks and blushes, with contrasting tones of grey. Black, deep oxblood, forest and ink add depth to the line, while cobalt and viridian create a playful allure.

For women, a sculpted jersey dress is layered over a luxe printed python skirt and finished with an embossed alligator moto vest. Proportional tops are key, whether in a disrupted geometric motif on a laser cut silhouette in powdered chalk or a long asymmetric shirt in black. For men, a shearling bomber jacket with exposed zippers in calcified white is contrasted with a black tech jacket and pleated pants.

Accessories include exaggerated front-zip boots in varying heights with an architectural block heel, cut in nude, white and black stretch goat skin or python. Box square and rectangular portfolio bags with exaggerated chains are rebellious and sexy – in white and black embossed alligator or pebble grain leather and python. Circular inspired stainless finish jewelry is refined, elegant and sculptural in cuffs, earrings and a statement choker. For him, retro boots are clean, neat and precise in matte black, navy and grey pebble skin or python. Bags are soft and slouchy, amplified with shiny, nickel zippers like the one-shoulder strap backpack and travel duffle in bonded pebble nappa.
