Liya Kebede Is A Calvin Klein 205W39NYC Dream.
LAST friday, New York’s style set gathered to celebrate the launch of Calvin Klein’s latest Eternity campaign, starring Liya Kebede, Jake Gyllenhaal and four-year-old newcomer Leila.
Naturally guests, including models Mica Arganaraz and Julia Nobis, were given Calvin Klein 205W39NYC pieces to wear, but it was a gorgeous Ethiopian model Kebede that stood out as a true Raf girl….she totally rocked the look if you ask me.
Wearing leg-lengthening slim-fit leather trousers and a matching shirt with white polo neck underneath, she was a replica of one of the final autumn/winter 2017 catwalk looks, save for her untucked button-up and boots. Instead of the white, steel-capped cowboy boots styled with Simons’s first collection, Kebede kept her Westerns dark, with diamanté spurs on the back.
It’s been quite the week in terms of events red-carpet celebrations – Alexa Chung and Kate Bosworth celebrated the launch of the Erdem X H&M collection in LA, Chanel hosted its women’s filmmaker luncheon in Tribeca with Rachel Weisz and Dakota Fanning, and Michael Kors sponsored the God’s Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards with a host of A-list friends – but Kebede wore a look that feels right for now. Layered, yet streamlined, and apt for the changeable weather.
With Simons now only in his second main season for the house, there’s much more to come from the Flemish designer turned New Yorker, and the diverse members of his new 205W39NYC family.
