Calvin Klein has partnered with BTS superstar Jung Kook for a new fashion collaboration, unveiling a biker-inspired capsule collection that blends denim, streetwear, and the singer’s unique style. This marks Jung Kook’s first official design venture, building on his role as a global ambassador for Calvin Klein Jeans and Underwear.
Centered around Jung Kook’s passion for motorcycles, the 20-piece collection reimagines Calvin Klein’s classic pieces with a rebellious edge. It combines biker-themed elements with the brand’s hallmark minimalist design, creating a fresh yet familiar aesthetic.
The lineup features denim, underwear, graphic T-shirts, sweatshirts, and outerwear. Key items include a ’90s-style trucker jacket, straight-fit denim, low-rise baggy jeans, and a racer jacket. Distressed details and racing stripe accents are prominent throughout the collection.
British fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan captured the campaign, which embraces a cinematic biker motif inspired by themes of movement and freedom. The visuals were crafted to reflect Jung Kook’s personal style and creative vision.
In a significant development, this collaboration underscores Calvin Klein’s ongoing strategy of partnering with influential celebrities, particularly music icons with strong fan followings and cultural impact. Jung Kook, one of the leading figures in K-pop, joins a distinguished group of ambassadors who help maintain the brand’s prominence in fashion, entertainment, and social media.
The launch coincides with a resurgence of ’90s minimalist fashion, which continues to influence contemporary style trends. The collection will be available on Calvin Klein’s US online store starting May 19, followed by availability in select retail and wholesale outlets the next day. Selected flagship stores and international pop-up events will also support the release.
For Jung Kook, this collaboration represents another significant step in expanding his influence beyond music into the fashion industry.
