Calvin Klein Inc., a subsidiary of PVH Corp., will open a new, sprawling Calvin Klein global flagship in Tokyo on Aug. 29.
Located at 4-31-10, Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, in the heart of Harajuku, the three-story, 14,160-square foot store expands the brand’s retail footprint globally, bringing Calvin Klein to one of Japan’s most fashionable districts. It’s the company’s first Tokyo flagship.
The store is designed as both a cultural and commercial destination. This newest flagship marks the next chapter in the brand’s global retail expansion in major markets around the world, following Paris in 2024 and ahead of the anticipated opening in SoHo, New York, later this year.
David Savman, Calvin Klein global brand president, said, “The Tokyo flagship marks a pivotal milestone in the global retail strategy for the Calvin Klein brand. Calvin Klein has always stood at the intersection of fashion and culture, creating products and consumer experiences that resonate and inspire, and our stores are where this element of our iconic DNA is the most fully realized. We are excited to expand our footprint in one of the world’s most influential fashion capitals and deliver an elevated consumer experience where the Calvin Klein way of living meets the culture of fashion.”
The store’s first and second floors are dedicated to women’s and men’s assortments, featuring Calvin Klein’s full lifestyle range across apparel, underwear and accessories. Denim takes center stage in the store, reflecting both the significance of denim in Japanese culture and the brand’s leadership in the category. On both floors, dedicated zones bring the brand’s iconic underwear to life, allowing customers to explore design innovations and seasonal newness. The third floor offers a flexible event and gallery space alongside a dedicated VIP area where the brand’s fall 2025 Calvin Klein Collection, designed by Veronica Leoni, will sit. The collection marks her debut as the new creative director for the brand. The event and gallery space and VIP area positions the flagship not only as an elevated retail experience but as a platform for community engagement.
The new flagship fuses Calvin Klein’s modern minimalism with a distinctive local sensibility rooted in traditional craftsmanship. The store has a bright, sculptural facade that features an interior application of cast glass louvers for dimension and visual interest, punctuated by a prominent digital screen above the main entrance that creates a dedicated visual space for the brand’s iconic campaign imagery to connect with consumers and passersby.

Inside the store, a palette of creams, warm neutrals and natural tones provides a clean backdrop for Calvin Klein products, with flourishes of traditional Japanese materials, including stone, plaster, glass, paper and cedar to create a minimal space that takes inspiration from local culture.
The store is finished with distinctive custom elements that showcase a fusion of heritage and modernity, including a limestone staircase, locally sourced Oya Ishi stone and handmade paper finishes and art pieces by artists Wataru Hatano and Rikuo Takata. Furnishings such as Noguchi sofas and vintage Japanese decor underscore the store’s tactile warmth and cultural resonance.
In celebration of the opening, the store will house a limited-edition capsule available exclusively at the flagship. Rooted in denim, the capsule reimagines Calvin Klein’s signature jeans, trucker jackets and logo Ts with a custom color palette and bespoke CK Tokyo branding. The capsule is available in a limited run of 100 individually numbered pieces per style, creating a special collectible for fans of the brand and new customers to celebrate this major brand milestone.
In PVH’s financial results for the quarter ended May 4, revenues increased 2 percent to $2 billion from the prior year. Calvin Klein’s sales were flat at $886.1 million for the quarter, as reported.
