Calvin Klein LAUNCHES one future. #CKone
Calvin Klein launched their latest campaign ‘one future’ as part of #ckone. The campaign features young and powerful voices. For over 25 years, ck one has embodied youth culture. It all started 25 years ago with the unisex fragrance. In its latest brand campaign, one future #ckone, Calvin Klein curates powerful young voices captured by a vanguard of photographers. Shot against the backdrop of their hometowns, eleven individuals are captured in their everyday environments, speaking to their individual experiences, perspectives, and hopes. They are the voices of a generation united by one future. The dedicated platform Calvin Klein created celebrates expression and individuality.
CK ONE is giving a platform to young talents who are expressing their personal stories with the campaign, which is something we connect to easily and stand behind fully. We find it very inspiring. You can read more about the featured youth as well as see the images of all of them bellow. The campaign is truly something that stands out to us, especially in the current difficult times.
"We all have our own path and we create our own story. Make sure to be proud of who you are and use your voice, even if told otherwise. Self-expression and individuality are very important." – Timotej Letonja
