A transatlantic Calvin Klein in an art foundation of East Village

For his last show, Calvin Klein's house led us to an art foundation in East Village, which in the days of glory of the Purista minimalism of the founder was the neighborhood that gave birth to Punk Rock.

The change in the configuration reflected the change of direction under the new Veronica Leoni designer, whose initial inspiration for this collection came to see New Yorkers on a route to early work in the morning. The whole collection referred to work clothes and the details of the workers, and the collection, especially the element of women in a mixed show, seemed ideal for ambitious women who populate New York.

Opening with some irony with aprons that became cocktails with curves with pockets and back, one in Beige another in black.

Leoni cut excellent bulky coats: from large slate gauze coats with horseshoe necklines, to a double chest jacket of the sleeve that opens on the top of the satin and shorts. Best of all, a large hyper sand tones falls from the shoulders.

“Last year I really wanted to approach the brand, near its DNA and traditions. To try to possess it in my way,” said Leoni's post program, born in Rome.

Backed by a great soundtrack of Kid Harpoon that includes fragments of the immortal Caetano Veloso singing “Cucurrucu Paloma”, Leoni broke a new land with boldness appearance of theater: a gray plisé dress of divine dove dissected as many sets of a leather rope belt, or a gray battle battle hunting mass.

He even presented a couple of excellent roya in bold stripes, the model of model grip and the keys of apartment attached to leather lariats.

“Increase normality but take it to its next level. A feeling of raw beauty that one sees in the street here,” said Leoni, added that an obsession that he shared with his mother with the television series “Dynasty” led several power looks. “Part of the transatlantic DNA that we are trying to build here,” he smiled.

The cast that appeared on an industrial staircase before traveling inside the Brant Foundation, a converted substation with Edison that was previously the study of the legendary land artist Walter de María.

The program also includes many internal words games: from the soundtrack that raised a line about Calvin Klein in the movie “Back to the Future”, to the works of possibly Calvin's most famous signifier: underwear.

Playfully with a combination of floral victory flowers with a matching vest, or with a key with sports brazs that reached their maximum point on a crepe top with a heart neckline or a fine wool nifos jacket.

Before sending a female model in the Long Johns logo or completing a couple of sports visions on the edge of underwear. All the way to a bright Tweed column made in elastic thread fabric and underwear ornaments.

Many of a splendidly fresh cast, courtesy of the cunning eye of Ashley Brokaw, scarfs of sports workers in the head, such as Post -warfall field workers.

For men, their gray blend suit with hunting jacket or a fantastic and crushed linen and a muddy gray coat with hyper gathered over the long Johns were large striking.

Add more humor with a riff on the cheerleaders, with pompones linked by rope to the hem of several lingerie dresses.

In total, a very impressive exhibition of Leoni in his second collection for the house. Given with sustained applause from an audience that included Lily Collins, Iris Law, Emily Ratajkowski, Naomi Watts and singer, Rosalia.
