Jung Kook Calvin Klein collaboration debuts a limited capsule called CKJK EST. 2026, with the BTS singer personally involved in the design, Calvin Klein said in a statement.
The collection centers on Jung Kook’s interest in motorcycle culture and 1990s silhouettes, mixing leather, denim and relaxed cuts to create a film like road aesthetic. Photographer Alasdair McLellan shot the campaign in a retro highway setting, using muted tones and cinematic framing to emphasize a classic American mood while keeping Calvin Klein’s pared back approach, the brand said.
CKJK EST. 2026 spans about 20 pieces for men and women, including 1990s style denim jackets, straight leg jeans, low rise relaxed fits, printed T shirts, sweatshirts and racer style jackets. Several pieces feature intentional wash and abrasion details plus racing stripe accents to add street level energy to the line.
Details include signature branding, interior woven labels, hidden embroidery and motifs drawn from Jung Kook’s personal interests, and each item ships in limited edition packaging intended to increase collector appeal, Calvin Klein said. Leather pieces and athleisure items also play a key role, reflecting the singer’s recent preference for a direct, unfussy wardrobe.
Jung Kook, a member of the South Korean group BTS, said he has worked with Calvin Klein for several years and wanted to take a deeper creative role for this project, bringing his style and stories about motorcycle riding into the designs.
The Jung Kook Calvin Klein collection goes on sale at 6 a.m. on May 20, 2026, with availability at selected Calvin Klein boutiques in Hong Kong and at The Venetian Macao shopping center, Calvin Klein said. Prices range from approximately $37 to $638 (originally 290 HKD to 4,990 HKD / reference rate 1 HKD = 0.1277 USD).
Hong Kong locations listed by the brand include Times Square (a shopping mall in Causeway Bay), Harbour City LCX (a retail complex in Tsim Sha Tsui), Langham Place (a mall in Mong Kok), New Town Plaza (a large shopping center in Sha Tin), and the Venetian Macao shopping center, the statement said. Customers who spend a specified amount on eligible items will receive a limited edition campaign poster while supplies last, the brand added.
Calvin Klein described the project as its first fashion collaboration where an artist worked deeply on creative direction and product development, calling Jung Kook’s participation an effort to connect the singer’s personal tastes to the brand’s classic pieces. The collection name, CKJK EST. 2026, signals the partnership and the year of launch.
For shoppers outside Hong Kong, Calvin Klein said select pieces may appear on the brand’s global web store and at additional retailers in the coming weeks, with timing varying by market.
