Following the departure of Calvin Klein designers Italo Zucchelli and Francisco Costa (menswear and women’s, respectively) earlier today, the immediate question is: Who is next in line to helm the American brand? It is no secret that the company has been slowly retooling its product structure, having reacquired its diffused jeans and underwear business in 2013 and repositioned its advertising messaging to a more cohesive, same-celebrity slant. In a statement announcing the creatives’ exit, the brand explained that the latest changes were to “unify all Calvin Klein brands under one creative vision,” a sentiment that makes sense, given its main competitors’ directionality in leadership and branding, and one that hints toward the appointment of Belgian designer Raf Simons as the design duo’s successor. Simons, who famously left Christian Dior last fall, has curiously long been rumored to join the global clothier—whose scale alone offers a totalitarian potential for design—but it wasn’t until the news today that the once-sure joke of fashion seemed a possibility.

Italian designer Domenico Vacca throws his hat into the luxury retail ring with a larger-than-life, 10-story oasis in midtown Manhattan. Tangible evidence for the growth of the brand—whose first stand alone boutique opened nearby in 2002—the new space super-sizes Vacca’s footprint on the landscape—this time widening to include lifestyle and even hospitality—in a opulent building decorated in Italian marble and rose-hued stories.

The brand new 8,000-square-foot space includes a two-story retail concept—including the designer’s full array of ready-to-wear, accessories, and footwear—with VIP services, beside a ground level café, Italian-style formal barber shop, private member’s club, and long-term stay top floors, with 30 fully furnished living spaces personally decorated by Vacca.

The private club feel extends from custom furniture pieces to one-of-a-kind artistic details via the designer himself. “I have always wanted to express my creativity and sense of style in other lifestyle concepts,” says Vacca. “This building is a mecca of extravagance and comfort, each aspect and detail a labor of love.”
The Domenico Vacca is now open at 15 West 55th Street, New York.

Pitti Immagine Uomo 90 looks to be the most anticipated iteration yet, revealing designer Raf Simons as another special guest at the the biannual menswear event. Celebrating the legendary force, “Florence Calling: Raf Simons” will debut the designer’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection, in addition to a special project developed exclusively for Pitti. “Florence holds a special place in my heart,” said Simons in a statement “… Over the years, I have regularly come back to show my work or to collaborate on ventures that closely mirrored my thoughts about it.” The news follows the announcement of Gosha Rubchinskiy as this season’s guest designer, with special appearances by Hiroki Nakamura of Visvim, Fausto Puglisi, and Lucio Vanotti.
