Heron Preston is one of the most influential creatives working today. Since he began, Preston has been producing a body of work that cuts its own path from reimagining, redesigning, and repurposing uniforms and utility elements working alongside NASA and DSNY to inventing new practices in sustainability and materials with three Rs: revolutionary, relatable, and relevant. 

Heron Preston for Calvin Klein

Through a shared vision, Heron Preston and Calvin Klein created a collection for real people. Preston came in as a creative consultant, first examining what he considered the brand’s most necessary and iconic pieces: the underwear, the white shirt, which remains firmly within the guardrails of what is essential. 

Preston’s storytelling around essentials focuses on the pursuit of simplicity, revisiting styles and obsessing over details, always incorporating something new. It celebrates the raw and youthful spirit at the core of Calvin Klein’s brand identity and globally recognized aesthetic. 

The campaign takes an organic approach and features a diverse cast from Preston’s close circle and people who inspire him. From icons such as Nas and Stevie Williams to newcomers Jordan Alexander and Sabrina Fuentes, Calvin Klein continues its tradition of both seeking out emerging talent and fresh faces, to showcasing legendary figures.
