DD: What is it with Pawson and his aesthetic that works so well with Calvin Klein as a brand?

Italo Zucchelli: We both find inspiration in solitude or in empty big natural spaces. There is also a link, in design terms, between us and John because it is about clothes that are inspired by timelessness and that are modern, that are about clever design, that are functional. We always talk about how important functionality is for me with the clothes, for him it’s the same with the spaces. The aesthetic of the brand works really well wit his aesthetic because John Pawson, as an architect, is about timelessness, good design, simplicity and the M-word… minimalism! It’s a love/hate word, because today its too easy to use that word.
