It's Official: Raf Simons' Calvin Klein Era Starts Now
The PVH Corporation-owned Calvin Klein just broke the long-awaited news.
The rumor mill came to an end after Calvin Klein named Raf Simons its new Chief Creative Officer. Meanwhile, Dior hired Valentino co-creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri to replace Simons, who resigned in 2015 October.
CEO Steve Shiffman commented:
“The arrival of Raf Simons as chief creative officer signifies a momentous new chapter for Calvin Klein. Not since Mr. Klein himself was at the company has it been led by one creative visionary, and I am confident that this decision will drive the Calvin Klein brand and have a significant impact on its future.”
All hail the new Raf Simons era.
