Calvin Klein’s new Studio menswear collection tasks the illustrious Cha Eun-woo to demonstrate the timeless class in well-fitted, comfort-first classics.

Car coats in lamb leather and wool twill, blazers in blended wool gabardine, crewnecks fashioned out of supple cashmere — this is not a read-through of a heritage brand’s latest attempt at modernisation. Instead, these are the latest in Calvin Klein’s agenda for its new Calvin Klein Studio menswear collection.

Designed with the modern gentlemen in mind, the collection refines essentials for everyday elegance — referencing genuinely wearable pieces that will not just sit in one’s closet to look pretty. If that has yet to sell one on the appeal of the New York label’s approach to pared-down staples, perhaps gazing at Cha Eun-woo — the star of the campaign and Calvin Klein’s most gentlemanly model — might do the trick.
