Formal Sports–Calvin Klein Collection creative director Italo Zucchelli modifies his approach to sportswear for the fall/winter 2013 season, injecting it with tailored formalities. Often leading by example in terms of modernity, rich finishes give fundamentals like the double-breasted blazer or a modified sweatshirt edge. Meanwhile, the overall shapes of the collection, which are usually on the larger side, are tamed with precise tailoring, resulting in controlled volume. Mixing in houndstooth, herringbone and rich autumnal colors of ox-blood and midnight blue, various hues of gray paint a sleek urban vision.
The “retro-futuristic” sweatshirts are hideous. They remind me of the 1960s vision of futuristic fashion–something form the original Star Track.
