Raf Simons and Sterling Ruby are redesigning Calvin Klein's HQ

Raf Simons revolution at Calvin Klein continues. After the launch of "By Appointment", label inspired by the couture that celebrates the woman and the American fashion, after the ad campaign featuring Millie Bobby Brown and the debut of the first FW collection during New York Fashion Week, the Belgian designer is now renewing CK's headquarters. For this new project, Simons enlists the help of one of his longtime collaborators, Sterling Ruby, who, interviewed by Surface magazine describes the interior design of the building:

"It's a collage-oriented mix of hand-painted walls, poured concrete floors, pedestals and risers, fabricated tables, and one component I brought in as a historical nod to America: Bertoia chairs [...] This is essentially Raf's and my version of what this big American fashion house should look like now. I think it's a vision of youth, of reconfiguring American fashion but also American corporate art and corporate culture and, in a way, sex".

Vision fully shared by Simons himself, "I had the feeling that Calvin became more and more fragmented. We're putting these ingredients back together: New York City. America. Calvin Klein. Sterling and I have a lot in common when it comes to thinking about clothes, space, environment, and attitude, so I thought it could be amazing to work with him on different spaces that redefine how I see the company evolving".
