Raf Simons Announced As Calvin Klein's New Designer
NY Mag

Calvin Klein's design style has always appealed to more mature generations; the clothing, the logo, and the promotional graphics all have a simple, minimalistic style to them. However, Raf Simons, whose style is known to be colorful and active and appeals to younger generations, has just recently become Calvin Klein's Creative Director. Simons designs t-shirts, jackets, and pants out of various colors and materials. He collages photographs, quotes, and song lyrics on many outfits. Some designs have a simple photographed texture on them, or a pattern of bright colors.

Any artistic vision Simons has is an eyeful. Raf Simons is worn mostly by the generation of gangsta, hip-hop street kids. Many rappers adorn themselves in Raf Simons outfits, such as A.S.A.P. Rocky

Simons was previously the Creative Director of Dior until he left the job back in October of 2015. He was replaced by Maria Grazia Chiuri from Valentino. He joined Calvin Klein at the beginning of this month. Now that the popular designer has taken control of Calvin Klein's artistic direction, the image and attitude of Calvin Klein will become youthful and will appeal to people other than working-class citizens, as well as encourage people of the working class to dress more artfully and make everyday life interesting.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer.
