“The brand recently launched its Fall 2023 campaign, featuring iconic denim underwear. And for the first time in many years, more refined sportswear products that Calvin Klein consumers love. And we have a lot of progress to make in this area.”
“Our teams have created the best global key products for men and women, which will be consistent across international assortments and, together with essentials, will account for 20% of SKUs and a much larger share of total sales from autumn 2024. We are deepening our flagship product offering and lifestyle expansion through targeted marketing, while creating brand appeal for exclusive product activations in leading cities such as London, Paris and Milan,” he asserted.
The forthcoming opening of a flagship store in Paris will undoubtedly put the brand in the spotlight.
