All the movie references inside Calvin Klein SS18 collection

After his debut with the eponymous menswear collection, a tribute to Blade Runner, everyone was waiting to see how it would be Calvin Klein SS18 during New York Women's Fashion Week.

Raf Simons declares it openly: once again behind his latest collection is America, with its contradictions and its excesses. This time, however, U.S. are seen through the lens of cinema, of Hollywood and through the pop art of Warhol.

"Everything starts from the American Horror and American Beauty. Fashion tries to hide the horror and embrace only beauty, but the two cannot exist without".

The collection reflects this dualism and breaks into tailoring and transgression, embracing a vintage modernity that seems to have come out of a dissonant version of Hitchcock’s movie that smells the Midwest prairies and lurks through beauty like Sissy Spacek in Stephen King’s version. There is almost no distinction between masculine and feminine, everything is double, multilayer, everything is the bearer of complexity and latent subversion. Nylon and rubber coexist with hand-painted leather, volleyball games with pop pop colors, prints with fringe and pom pom, heroes with antiheroes, cowboys with cheerleaders or lumberjacks.
