The Spring/Summer 2018 casual streetwear offerings by Calvin Klein's Jeans imprint has distinct pop art connotations. The label collaborated with the Andy Warhol Foundation and produced a collection that honors the late artist's aesthetic. The majority of the items — from the footwear to the casual streetwear silhouettes, have a white or black coloring. This is somewhat reminiscent of a canvas. Upon it, Calvin Klein Jeans superimposes pop art-styled self-portraits of the artist in a large chromatic bi-color variance.
The fashion label and the Andy Warhol Foundation experimented with different nuances, dimensions and positioning for the prints that embody a stencil-like appearance. The collection is dubbed 'Self Portraits' and is the perfect gift for the art enthusiast or those who seek inspiration.
