AW18 CK205W39NYC Raf Simons Looney Tunes ‘Road Runner’ Knit

For sale is the iconic Autumn Winter 2018 Raf Simons Calvin Klein 205W39NYC Looney Tunes Distressed Knitted Sweater. Raf Simons at Calvin Klein was an unprecedented move that shocked the industry back in 2016. Calvin Klein was the third major label house for seasoned designer Raf Simons, and expectations were high. Simons’ vision for Calvin Klein unfortunately did not pair with the current consumer base, despite being widely accredited as some of the designers best work in recent history. Thus, the contract was ultimately cut short after just 2 years.

 

Raf Simons built a cemented framework his first two seasons at the label. This allowed him to truly let his creativity burst through the cracks of New York fashion week in 2018. He let his artistic self lose with experimental and design intensive garments. He showcased an androgynous line, using eccentric textiles and display mediums to pair. He collaborated with Looney Tunes for a variety of full print knitwear, distressing each with precision and skill. Throughout the entire collection, Raf Simons has reborn his creative genius at a vastly under appreciated level.

 

The garment shown is by far one of the most iconic from the collection. Deriving from the Looney Tunes collaboration, this piece is hand weaved from a 100% virgin wool textile. Featuring a bold cartoon figure known as Wile E. Coyote atop a baby blue base, detailing runs far and wide with meticulous distressing and clouded scenery throughout. The graphic runs along the underside and down onto the bottom hem, with a large mustard yellow accent. Overall, this garment is in pristine condition with merely light wear and is tagged as an oversized large. This item was released in limited quantity as a result of the demanding time constraints each garment withholds, making the knit difficult to obtain years later. Cease this rare opportunity to purchase the iconic Autumn Winter 2018 Raf Simons Calvin Klein 205W39NYC Looney Tunes Distressed Knitted Sweater today, a piece which has gained notoriety among fashion critics and consumers alike.
