Kendall Jenner Signs With Calvin Klein

Sources tell us the in-demand model and junior member of the Kardashian klan has signed on to be a face, or rather body, for the underwear brand. Add Kendall Jenner to the list of people for whom nothing comes between them and their Calvins. Jenner, who’s been walking runways for Chanel and Balmain at Paris fashion week, has been posting photos of herself wearing Calvin Klein undies on her Instagram since last year, often tagging the line to show her support.

Jenner’s Instagram posts are similar to those Justin Bieber posted on his own feed before he was announced in January as a spokesman for Calvin Klein Jeans. Bieber’s appearance in Calvin ads with model Lara Stone drew huge buzz on social media (Calvin reportedly gained 3.6 million Twitter followers after releasing the first images), but also a fair amount of controversy.

There was an international debate over whether Bieber’s abs and manly bits were Photoshopped to bulge bigger for the underwear ads, and “SNL” mocked the Bieber TV slots in sketches featuring Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong. Jenner, who is already a face of Estée Lauder, would follow iconic female faces of Calvin Klein Jeans including Brooke Shields and Kate Moss.

Drake New Clothing Line

Rapper +Drizzy Drake has teamed up with +Calvin Klein for a new clothing line to be released during his European tour. Calvin Klein and Drake are set to reprise their collaborative relationship for Drake’s forthcoming European tour. Just like last year’s North American dates, Drake’s future stops across Europe will see the Canadian artist decked out in custom gear from the iconic American fashion house. 

Designed by Calvin Klein creative director Italo Zucchelli, the new range contrasts last year‘s predominately blue hues with a more somber grey-based palette that includes sleeveless pullovers, denim jackets, graphic sweatshirts, jeans, and even a custom version of the “Obsession” sweatshirt from Klein’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection – complete with “Drake” emblazoned across the back. Drake’s 2014 European tour – dubbed “Would You Like A Tour?” and featuring The Weeknd – kicked off February 19 in Germany and will come to a close with a two-night stand at London’s O2 Arena on March 24 and 25.

Marie Gulin-Merle, formerly the chief marketing officer of Calvin Klein, has resurfaced as the vice-president of global ads marketing at Google. Gulin-Merle will be responsible managing Google’s global media spend, as well as setting the vision for Google’s marketing business worldwide.

She has also been tasked with building and delivering a global marketing strategy for the company’s ads business and its advertising products. Google has named her as a ‘key partner’ to its ads sales, product and engineering leadership.

Gulin-Merle joins Google at the same time as Nick Drake, the former marketing boss of T-Mobile. Taking on the role of vice-president of global marketing, Drake also joined the tech giant this month.

Jennifer Lopez tops Google’s list

 

Jennifer Lopez, is the top searched Golden Globes red carpet star since 2010, according to a new report from Google examining trending searches related to the awards show over the past decade.

J.Lo has attended the awards show five times since 2010; her look from the 2015 ceremony, a silver beaded caftan-style gown by Zuhair Murad, emerged as that year’s top searched fashion moment.

Other highlights from the “Hustlers” star’s fashion reign at the Globes include her sexy sheer lace look from 2013 (also by Murad), her sunny yellow Giambattista Valli Couture cape gown from 2016 and her bow-tied Valentino Haute Couture dress from 2020, which sparked comparisons to Christmas presents.

Calvin Klein New Chunky Sole Sneaker

Debuting the new Marvin silhouette for Fall 2018, CK ushers in yet another addition to the “dad shoe” trend that literally every brand this and last season has incorporated into their respective collections. Leather, polyester and mesh are paired together on the upper, while the EVA midsole and yellow rubber outsole detailing completes the construction overall. Three colorways are available for the initial drop, with each incorporating a similar color palette in different ways that’s pretty easy to accomplish due to the sneaker’s multi-layered construction.

In addition to the affordable price point, Marvin is one shoe that definitely fits right in with the options currently out there, especially if we’re talking Balenciaga’s popular Triple S model.

Young Thug Models In A Dress

Whats really going on! The rapper wore a black pin striped dress with pants underneath, in an ad featuring the caption, “I disobey in #mycalvins.” While the controversial ad will certainly shake things up, this is not the first time Thugger has sported a dress in pictures. When his career first started taking off, he was seen multiple times wearing dresses and using language that many questioned, like calling his friends "bae" and "hubby."

Young Thug has pushed the envelope with his fashion throughout the years, and now he's landed an ad for Calvin Klein's Fall 2016 Womenswear campaign. He joins other fashion revolutionists like Jaden Smith, who recently claimed that wearing dresses in public will help push the plight of transgender children forward.
