With June only days away, Calvin Klein has unveiled its 2020 Pride Collection.
Not letting COVID-19 stop the celebration of Pride Month, Calvin Klein has created a series of limited-edition pieces, all decorated with bold rainbow detailing. To show off the underwear, apparel, and accessories, the brand tapped influential LGBTQ+ figures such as Ama Elsesser, Chella Man, Jari Jones, Gia Woods, and more. The brand also asked these influencers to share their personal stories about being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Beyond the new Pride pieces, the brand has also teamed up with OutRight Action International on its COVID-19 LGBTIQ Global Emergency Fund, which is an initiative that aims to offer emergency financing to LGTBQ+ organizations around the world impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
