(NEW YORK) Was there ever any question that Calvin Klein Collection would throw the event of the week? Never. After another outstanding collection by Francisco Costa earlier in the day at the brand new Spring Studios (which got high marks from front rowers), the brand celebrated the launch of their new fragrance DOWNTOWN wIth a bash for the books on Thursday night.
Braving a few raindrops (to put it mildly) post-Marc to check out the new space and toast Costa on his ten year anniversary were Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dylan McDermott, Naomie Harris, Carine Roitfeld, Alexander Skarsgård, Hailee Steinfeld, Drake, Anna Dello Russo, Ne-Yo, Ryan Lochte, Giovanna Battaglia, Dree Hemingway, George Kotsiopoulos, Brad Goreski, Doutzen Kroes, Matthew Terry, Cory Bond, Bekkah Jenkins, Hanneli Mustaparta, Michael Carl, Glenda Bailey, Andrew Saffir, Daniel Benedict, Tobias Sorenson, Lorenzo Martone, Simon Collins, and Calvin Klein Collection’s Kevin Carrigan and Italo Zucchelli.
With such A listers in the house, how could they top themselves? How about Pharrell Williams hitting the stage to perform a few numbers including songs of the summer, “Get Lucky” and “Blurred Lines?” to get the crowd going? Yes, that did it. Props to the Calvin team for producing two epic events in one day.
