The Nineties revival continues at Milan Fashion Week, as Italo Zucchelli presented cropped tops galore for the Calvin Klein Spring Summer 2011 show.
Executed in luxe sports fabrications, the fusion of suit and sport was exemplified in boxy cropped t-shirts and navy silk blousons. Mandarin collars and horizontal zip details added a fashionable slant, while the dramatic crop shape exposed the body with almost Gridiron-like precision.
Never one to adhere or conform to archetypal Calvin Klein conventionality, Zuchelli continues to push the boundaries of men's fashion with this crop top update for the brand's Summer 2011 collection.
