by Natasha Wolff | October 2, 2023 4:41 pm

Revisit Francisco Costa[1]’s time as the creative director and women’s collections designer for Calvin Klein[2] through the lens of 21 photographers in this innovative new publication. Costa[3] selected pieces from his Calvin Klein women’s collections to inspire or be worn in each of their photographs, and the result, 555: Revisiting the Fashion Archive of Francisco Costa[4] (Rizzoli), is presented as 21 unbound booklets in a limited-edition, sleek clamshell case. Francisco Costa[5]‘s archival pieces are brought back to life in provocative moody portraiture, documentary and fashion photography from Diego Villarreal, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Jamie Hawkesworth, Marcelo Gomes, Nick Waplington, Hugh Lippe, Joel Meyerowitz, Lea Colombo, Collier Schorr and others, along with contributions by English author and curator Charlotte Cotton.
