Designers Costa, Zucchelli out at Calvin Klein! Part 2
Designers Francisco Costa and Italo
Zucchelli are leaving Calvin Klein as part of what the company describes
as a global creative strategy to unify all of its brands under one
vision.
Costa has been at
the New York fashion house for more than a decade and became the women's
creative director in 2003. Zucchelli became the men's creative director
a year later.
In a company
release Tuesday, Calvin Klein, owned by PVH Corp., said the new strategy
"comes as part of a global revolution in the direction of the Calvin
Klein brand." That began with the reacquisition of its jeans and
underwear business in 2013 with its purchase of Warnaco Group. The
parent company aims to develop a $10 billion global retail sales
business.
There was no immediate word on how the designers will be replaced.
"This
creative strategy marks the beginning of another significant chapter in
Calvin Klein's brand legacy since Mr. Klein's retirement," Steve
Shiffman, CEO of Calvin Klein, said in a statement.
