Nensi Dojaka for Calvin Klein

  • Sep. 14, 2024

Calvin Klein and Nensi Dojaka today announce a collaboration reflecting the brands' shared inspiration: the power of female sensuality. Nensi Dojaka for Calvin Klein pairs the London-based womenswear designer's intricate visual language with the innovation and design codes core to Calvin Klein. Anchored in women's underwear, pieces articulate the interplay between strength and softness - celebrating both in equal measure.

Revealed on Nensi Dojaka's Spring/Summer 2025 runway, underwear directs attention to specific areas of the body: the collarbone, the hips, the back. Fine harness straps frame the chest, and sheer layers highlight rather than conceal. Sculptural metal hardware, evolved from the Calvin Klein archives, appears as a focal accent throughout: at once rigid and organic, it directly celebrates duality.

Purpose and wearability rest at the very core of the collection: multi-layered petal cups are designed to invisibly enhance, while featherweight knits silently sculpt. Calvin Klein's highly-developed technical engineering allows for support throughout, in a collection created to empower.

Apparel pieces further develop the wardrobe. Sheer knits are designed to reveal and accentuate what appears beneath; languid slip dresses are formed with sculptural hardware, while gently oversized tailoring counterbalances delicate designs. A nineties spirit is made modern through a meticulous attention to detail.

In the campaign, actor Rebecca Ferguson and models Jill Kortleve and Mona Tougaard are photographed by Harley Weir against a London backdrop, in a series of images that are powerfully feminine and boldly sensual. With each woman chosen for her unique presence, their distinct energies and confidence are celebrated through Weir's lens. Together, they embody the very essence of the collection: the empowered woman.

"The collection is an exploration of femininity," explains Dojaka. "But I've never wanted to approach femininity the 'normal' way. I want to re-paint the image of women, showing both sides: the vulnerability, but also the strength that characterizes them. For me, femininity is about embracing the contrast that lives within us."

"This collaboration felt particularly special because Calvin Klein has always been on my mood board. It has been so inspiring for me to explore the brand's timeless designs -- and to work with the team to develop my ideas technically and build a full product line of silhouettes desirable for all women. That innovation was something that we all really wanted to celebrate."

Eva Serrano, Global Brand President of Calvin Klein, continued, "Nensi is truly doing something special in womenswear. Her vision and talent are next level, and when I think about the creative partners that have impacted Calvin Klein, Nensi is a part of that history. It is powerful and rewarding to see this design partnership that so organically leveraged the strengths of both brands out in the world."

Nensi Dojaka for Calvin Klein is shoppable now on CalvinKlein.com and NensiDojaka.com, following its debut at the Nensi Dojaka London Fashion Week show. The collection will be available at select Calvin Klein stores and key retail partners on Sunday, September 15th.
