When I think of Calvin Klein fashion, words like chic and contemporary come to mind. Well, now I need to throw in another descriptive word for the brand: European.
There are plenty of people who would argue with me on that considering the label’s American origins. However, I need only point to the new Calvin Klein CK fall/winter 2009 ad campaign to validate my statement.
This compilation of shots speaks for itself. There is an absolutely undeniable Euro-like styling to these advertisements. From the slicked back hair to the solid black attire, there’s almost a modernistic viewpoint going on here as well. Even the red haze cast into the shots adds to that overall look. I can’t help thinking about the Matrix movies series.
The models’ tight-lipped pouts and solemn expressions fit right in to the vibe, though I find it just a teeny bit hard to take a man wearing leather gloves and carrying a nylon satchel quite as seriously as he obviously expects to be taken here.
The campaign was photographed by Craig McDean and stars stern-faced models William Eustace (seen above) and Sigrid Agren with a few shots including Jourdan Dunn. If I couldn’t tell that Sigrid has a ponytail in one of the photos, I’d say it’s kind of hard to tell her apart from Eustace in some of the close-ups. See more of the photo shoot here.
