Raf Simons has been named Chief Creative Officer of Calvin Klein. This news is no surprise to those following fashion as it was rumoured that Simons would take the reins at the label after the exit of Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli.
Personally, I'm super excited about this move. I was a huge fan of Raf at Christian Dior and I'm excited to see him design womenswear again. I think it's a good fit, Raf is renowed as a minimalist and I think he will bring a European sophistication to the American label.
