The high-impact film fuses fashion and entertainment, moving to an instantly recognizable soundtrack and brought to life through the artist\u2019s signature choreography and commanding presence. The interplay of music and movement \u2013 complete with a cameo from New York City legend Rosie Perez \u2013 captures the impact synonymous with Calvin Klein\u2019s iconic visual storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>Calvin Klein jeans are at the center of the wardrobe with hero silhouettes leading the narrative: the effortless attitude of the 90s Straight; the relaxed and nostalgic proportions of the Baggy; and new interpretations of the iconic Trucker jacket \u2014 all reimagined with elevated washes and designed for versatility. Casual logo tees and oversized bombers complete the looks, reinforcing denim as both uniform and statement.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI love Calvin Klein jeans because they\u2019re designed to be lived in,\u201d<\/em> said Jung Kook. <em>\u201cThe looks I wore for this campaign nod to \u201890s style while feeling completely modern. It was exciting to bring together my love of music, dance and fashion against the energy of the city.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The campaign launches globally on February 24th across Calvin Klein retail, calvinklein.com and social platforms, as well as high-impact out-of-home placements.<\/p>\n<p><a
