When it comes to fashion, Calvin Klein is a top priority and Italo Zucchelli is serious. The fashion house unveiled its Spring 2015 Menswear collection during Milan Fashion Week over this past weekend.

Celebs in attendance included NFL player and New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, NBA player Nick Young of the Los Angeles Lakers & his girlfriend, pop artist/rapper Iggy Azalea and actor/singer Luke Evans. See their pics here!

All of them were wardrobed by Calvin Klein for the event. The fellas styled in pieces designed by Zucchelli and women’s creative director Franciso Costa styled Iggy.

According to Style.com, “Zucchelli’s collection was partially a hymn to skin, celebrated in a buff monochrome palette, defined by layers of tank tops and shorts. His use of underwear as outerwear offered an irresistible metaphor. The designer wanted transparency, literally and figuratively: baring the body, baring the soul.”

“Transparency is very important to move ahead with straight forwardness and simplicity,” said Zucchelli.

“Hyper-athleticism is a Zucchelli staple, but here he took it to a sophisticated new level, combining, say, a double-breasted jacket with layers of poplin and mesh boxers, and cutting a tank top from richly glossy eelskin.”

“When he uses color, it has often been an eye-popping slap in the face to neutrality, like today, from the first hints of brights in the collars of nylon outerwear, to peekaboo PVC under a neutral jersey tank, to a sequence of PVC pullovers and blousons in flaring red, yellow, and orange. “
