Shot by Simons’ long-time collaborator and friend Willy Vanderperre, the imagery starred Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, actress Abbey Lee Kershaw and models Lineisy Montero, Kiki Willems, Natalie Westling, Selena Forrest and Tessa Bruinsma. “It is the character that is our source of inspiration;It reflects a woman who assumes herself and who can be herself in her clothes,” says Pieter Muller, creative director of Calvin Klein.

Cheerleader, debutante, cheerleader: under the sign of American pragmatism and with a playful pop iconography.”
