Jeremy Allen White stars in Calvin Klein’s Spring campaign
For a native New Yorker—a quintessential New York campaign. Actor Jeremy Allen White has landed a plum new role, as the latest campaign face for Calvin Klein. The star of The Bear was captured against the city skyline of his hometown by Mert Alas in a series styled by Emmanuelle Alt (and kudos to whoever thought to bring the red apple as a prop.) Allen is seen in the Spring 2024 men’s Underwear collection showcasing returning favorites and new additions. Speaking of new additions, he’s not the only seasonal campaign model the brand has lined up, with subsequent ones set to roll out in the next week. But in the meantime, no doubt you won’t be able to escape ‘Carmy’ on social media and billboards in major cities near you today.
