Like other designers who house diffusion lines, Marc by Marc Jacobs, DKNY by Donna Karan, Versus by Versace, Calvin Klein has branched out into a lower price-point line which has been welcomed to Arnotts department store.
The brand's key look for this season is all about ultra-femininity and liquid fabrics, like cupro, which have a sense of gravity and movement.
Modern materials are balanced with natural, noble fabrics -linen, crisp cotton, and silk, while neoprene adds texture and structure to certain looks.
Yesterday, for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a scarlet, sleeved dress, which will signal every woman to find the perfect red dress for them. Ck Calvin Klein have this red silk tea dress for €189, a much more palletable price than Catherine's bespoke Alexander McQueen dress.
The current ck collection comprises of a pared down palette with soft, creamy colours in lighter hues, alongside accents of zest, lipstrick red and granite black.
This green shirt dress, perfectly light and airy for summer, comes in at €169. The dress has an oversized, cowl neck, with turned up sleeves, while still pinching in at the waist.
Another gem from the collection is this beige coat dress, €289. The Duchess has also spurned on a trend of dress coats over the past year, especially as both her Orla Kiely choices sold out within a day of being seen on the royal.
The collection fuses femininity with androgyny to create a simple, yet bold collection full of confident and stand-alone wardrobe pieces. Mens pyjama and shirt tailoring is a huge trend which is growing at the moment and this collection lends itself to a taste of that shape, fit and the confidence that follows.
