About Italo Zucchelli

At Calvin Klein, he developed a precise, athletic silhouette and explored materials that could alter familiar American wardrobe pieces. Technical surfaces, tonal dressing and sculptural proportions gave his collections a distinctive character while maintaining the house's pared-back identity. The CFDA recognised him as Menswear Designer of the Year in 2009, acknowledging his contribution to modern American men's fashion.
