In January we said au revoir to Raf Simons at Calvin Klein. It was a short, albeit brilliant tenure of two years and four collections. It was a bit surprising how quickly this Titanic sunk, but in an era constantly demanding newness, most trends come and go faster than people even change outfits. While brands like Gucci may have been able to keep luxury in its roots, products, and history from top to bottom, other brand can struggle, and when those customers buying Calvin Klein off the sales racks at Macy's aren't responding, Houston, you have a problem.
