Calvin Klein Jeans recently unveiled its latest LANDSCAPES collection inspired by the late and great artist, Andy Warhol. Specifically, the label drew inspiration from one of Warhol's famous quotes, which is "land really is the best art." The capsule features pieces that were created in collaboration with 'The Andy Warhol Foundation' to showcase some of the artist's most iconic shots.
The photography series highlights Warhol's monochromatic snowy photographs of Aspen, Colorado. Warhol had referred to the location almost 30 times in his diaries and captured the beauty of Aspen in the 80s. The photographs showcase a sense of peacefulness with clear landscapes. The apparel options adorned in the images include hoodies, bomber jackets, sweatpants, tees, jeans, denim jackets, crewneck sweaters, and skirts.
