Kravet Bows Calvin Klein Home Fabrics

The Kravet alliance is the second major product launch for Calvin Klein Home in less than a year.

It's been nearly 30 years since Brooke Shields famously queried, "You wanna know what comes between me and my Calvins?” Now, there’s nothing to come between Calvin Klein and a complete interior environment. The famous fashion house—which already markets furniture, tabletop, bedding, towels, rugs and table linens under the Calvin Klein Home brand—recently inked a licensing agreement with Kravet that extends its urban contemporary sensibilities to decorative fabrics.

The Bethpage, New York-based manufacturer is manufacturing and distributing the Calvin Klein Home brand’s very first fabric collection, which is already available exclusively through Kravet’s network of corporate showrooms under the Kravet Couture umbrella.

 

Upholstery fabrics, inspired by natural environments, are grouped into four palettes: Arctic, Bark, Pyrite, and Tusk. Additionally, Kravet has introduced Luminous and Elements, two complementary window and multi-purpose collections that embrace the fashion line’s trademark minimalism. Solids, tone-on-tone patterns, geometrics, stripes and textures figure prominently in the line, which draws upon a wide array of fibers such as linen, cotton, rayon, polyester, silk and viscose.

The Kravet alliance represents the second major product launch for Calvin Klein Home in less than a year. It follows on the heels the October 2008 launch of the Curator Collection by Calvin Klein Home, the label’s first furniture line, which bowed at the High Point Market in North Carolina.
