Brazilian Francisco Costa, creative director of Calvin Klein for more than ten years, leaves the iconic American design house, as announced in a press release.

The departure of Costa, in charge of designing the women's collections, coincides with the departure of Italo Zucchelli, designer of the men's line, before the new plans that the brand has to unify both businesses under a single creative vision.

“This creative strategy marks the beginning of another important chapter in Calvin Klein's legacy since Mr. Klein's retirement. I would like to thank Francisco and Italo for their unwavering commitment to the Calvin Klein brand and for their accomplishments throughout this decade. They have both contributed immensely to making Calvin Klein a global leader in the fashion industry, and they have done so with dedication, focus and creativity.”

Although there are rumors that the new creative director could be Belgian designer Raf Simmons, who recently served as Dior's creative director, no formal announcement has yet been made. Such an announcement is expected to be made in the following weeks.

Here are some of the celebrities who have worn their designs.
