FW17 Green Marching Band Trousers

Editor's Note

These trousers were featured on the Runway for Calvin Klein 205W39NYC's FW17 Collection, the first show under the creative direction of Raf Simons. Not many are able to execute the striped trouser trend as well as Mr. Raf Simons. This pair  comes in green fine wool fabric and features a woven blue stripe with white piping running along both sides. The fits is slim and left pretty long for the intended fit like shown on the Runway but can be shortened for a more casual look. Wear yours with black boots or clean sneakers and let the trousers be the standout piece of your outfit.

Characteristics

- Marching Band Stripes on both sides 
- Super High Quality Construction
- Elongated Leg
- Made in Italy

When designer Raf Simons surprisingly announced his retirement from Dior in 2015, everyone was excited to see what would come next. He led the traditional company into a new era with his minimalism, as can be seen in the film “Dior & I”.

In August 2016, Calvin Klein, Inc. announced the appointment of Raf Simons as Chief Creative Officer of the brand, overseeing all aspects of design, global market and communications, and visual creative services.

The move from Calvin Klein was viewed as a shift for the brand and it’s place in the fashion world. CK was seen as a brand that fits more into the category of Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, rather than high-class luxury brands. But Raf Simons came to change things 180 degrees. He arrived at 205 West 39th Street, Calvin Klein’s longtime address and renamed his luxury label, that was created within CK, 205W39NYC.
