Calvin
Klein will once again team up with rapper Drake to dress him for his upcoming
European tour - the label has already previously outfitted the rapper in custom
Spring/Summer 2013 designs for his recent North American tour. The designs
featured include sleeveless hoodies, an 'Obsession' sweatshirt which mimics
their best-selling scent logo, jeans, printed baggy t-shirts and several other
pieces which were taken from the label's Autumn/Winter 2014 collection before
being adapted and personalized specifically for Drake, one item even includes
his name hand-stitched in the back of a design.
Calvin
Klein men’s creative director Italo Zucchelli commented that he is happy
to continue working with the famous name and enjoyed making the collection
designs fit his personality: “I am excited to continue our relationship
with Drake, because it has been very inspiring to work with him. For this next
phase of his tour in Europe, I created a variety of pieces that represent my
design aesthetic, but also really fit his personality perfectly.”
When
the collaboration was first announced in 2013, Zucchelli stated that he loves
Drake's sense of style and felt it was a perfect fit for the company
too: “I love Drake – he is very talented and I like his effortless
attitude in terms of his style and music. It’s a perfect fit for me to work
with him and I am very excited for him to wear my designs for his tour.”
Drake's new tour will begin this week, kicking off in the German city of
Frankfurt.
