While in most places in the States right now we’re busting out our dreaded fall/winter gear, there’s little places like Rio de Janeiro where spring/summer is approaching and temperatures are rising. Yes, sometimes life is unfair. Kevin Carrigan, the Global Creative Director for Calvin Klein Jeans is heatin’ things up just a little more in Rio de Janeiro where he helps host the first ever Calvin Klein Jeans & Calvin Klein Underwear event in Cidade Maravilhosa, also known as the Marvelous City.
Twenty beautiful Brazilian and international models, showing off Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear, attended an exclusive cocktail party at the Hotel Fasano Rooftop. What was the atmosphere like, you ask? Try a mesmerizing sunset across the sparkling ocean and a V.I.P. pool for the steamy photoshoot.
With Kevin Carrigan, the Global Creative Director for Calvin Klein Jeans; and Francisco Costa, the Women’s Creative Director, Calvin Klein Collection hosting for the evening, they welcomed model/photographer Astrid Munoz, who wore a Calvin Klein Jeans dress, Cristine Fernandes, Carolina Ferraz, Rie Rasmussen, Paula Bezerra de Mello, and Eliana who were all wearing Calvin Klein Collection.
