Rythm of Time - Calvin Klein Menswear Fall 10



Italo Zucchelli's ways in menswear are a lot about modernism and challenging fabrics within the traditional menswear silhouette with a sharp American touch. The suits were rigid, in bonded techno fabrics, Mylar, nylon, silk mesh, and sometimes embellished by a moiré effect.
This modern American tailoring defines a whole aesthetic utopia, the suited up, square faced American modern business man, sharp and rigid, freed from the Saville Row roots, more up to date with an unmissable cinematic feel to the looks. The pure lines of the silhouettes, the rigidity of the materials and the metallic tones contribute to elaborate a new classic look, which still takes a bit of courage to wear, an outfit that appears traditional from far and stranger as it gets close, this what Calvin Klein has been establishing for a moment now with the subtle designs of Zucchelli.

"Let Me Be Your Armor - Calvin Kein Man Fall 09"



Calvin Klein Collection Fall 09

"Let me be your armor
Let me be your shield
Let me take away the pain you feel
Let me be the light
That guides your way through darkest night"
"Let me be your armor" by Assemblage 23

For it's return to homeland New York Fashion Week, Calvin Klein's Italo Zucchelli showed a subtle futuristic collection, with the high tech touch that is the designer's signature for Calvin Klein. The molded jackets and pants in wool/nylon brought back the notion of clothing as an armor, a protection shield against a tougher world threatened by the dark clouds of recession. While the girls are having fun at Jacobs, the Klein man is ready for the worst.
