Calvin Klein’s new chief creative officer, Raf Simons, will make made-to-measure services—usually only available to celebrities—open to all. The announcement of Calvin Klein By Appointment was tied to the end of the worldwide Women’s Marches. The range “is driven by character; it’s about a woman feeling empowered and being her own person in what she wears,” said Pieter Mulier, creative director at the brand.
