After months of speculation, the open secret about Raf Simons future may finally become a fact; PVH Corp. is expected to make the formal announcement this week confirming Simons as the new creative director of Calvin Klein.
After his departure from Dior, people began to speculate about the future of the Belgian designer and in November WWD published that Raf Simons was the favorite candidate to take the reins of the American brand. So far the facts speak for themselves, both Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli left the brand, confirming the fact that Calvin Klein was seeking to unify their collections for men and women under the direction of a single creative and just last month Raf moved to New York where he has been seen in meetings with the Klein’s staff.
What’s next? Expecting the announcement once all the terms of his previous contract with Dior expire and getting ready for his first collection at Calvin Klein for Fall 2017.
