Explore the exclusive capsule collection featuring the work of First Nations artist, Jake Simon.

Marking an exciting first in Calvin Klein’s ongoing support of Australia’s First Nations people, Worimi Biripi artist Jake Simon has created artwork for a capsule collection to be sold in conjunction with Pride 2023 celebrations across Australia and New Zealand.

Jake Simon has lived on Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation since 2018 and draws on both the coastal landscape and his life experience as inspiration. Applying a contemporary approach to traditional art language, he adds vibrancy to a black and white foundation, with pops of colour, shapes, lines and dots that represent the First Nations people across Australia – speaking to the hundreds of different Tribes, skin and language groups that make up the land.

“The motif of joining circles represents community, while arrow shapes are both journey and warrior. Being a proud gay man, the colours and meaning behind the palette really resonates with me. The shapes and the meaning behind this speak volumes representing the minorities within the community, who are strong and resilient, and showing that love wins”– Jake Simon.

With each Pride garment sold, Calvin Klein will donate $0.30 AUD to BlaQ Aboriginal Corporation, supporting the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQI+ community. For more information on BlaQ, visit here.
