Italo Zucchelli & Calvin Klein

[TRINI]

Who exactly is buying Calvin Klein such that Italo Zucchelli is nominated for CFDA designer of the year???

I think hes talented...

I'm sure he is but I place Calvin Klein in the same realms as Tommy Hilfiger and Nautica.

Am I deluded?

Maybe everything that bears Calvin's name except for Calvin Klein Collection. The last runway show wasnt bad. I like the way he plays with textures and the way he uses uncommon fabrics. CKC is still respectable to me. Im not a hugh fan but to put it on par with nautica?!?!?!

I am not too familier with CKC, but I'd put the mainline CK (the stuff that sells at Macy's and whatnot) in the same catagory at Nautica too. Nothing but fused suits with dull patterns and extremely low made in China (or possibly Vietnam) quality. The shirts are horrible as well., same catagory as Trump and Club room.

From what I've seen, CKC has much higher quality fabrics and very modern design

CK Collections was solid, aside from the cheesy-ness of the Calvin Klein label you associate at Macy's.

Their upcoming FW collection is has interesting modern design use of fabrics, changed my perception of the name.
