Designer Italo Zucchelli presented his [Calvin Klein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calvin-klein-shapewear) Collection Spring/Summer 2015 line during Milan Fashion Week. The menswear show reminded one of bootcamp-inspired attire and featured a range of minimalist wardrobe staples with an army twist.

Subtle pops of citrus hues invaded a collection of creme and brown ensembles that paired tanks and tees with baggy pants, fitted shorts and comfy combat boot accessories.

Military is turned modern in the Calvin Klein Collection Spring/Summer 2015 menswear presentation. The runway show stunned the label's loyal fans with its youthful brand of urban eleganc.

The menswear line took on a rugged, streetwear look that was a departure from the brand's past collections while remaining synonymous with its minimalist aesthetic and its rich history of clean-cut designs.
