What do all Calvin Klein ambassadors, Jung Kook, Tate McCrae, and Ling Ling Kwong, have in common? They have mastered the art of styling denim. To help readers get a step closer to recreating these style icons’ looks, BAZAAR hosted two styling sessions, taking them through the latest offerings from Calvin Klein and suggesting different ways to wear denim for every occasion. Held at Calvin Klein’s thoughtfully designed store in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, readers were greeted by the BAZAAR team and taken on a walkthrough of the stocked shelves of ready-to-wear, led by creative director Aziz Draim and editorial director Alisha Azuddin.

BAZAAR’s Alisha Azuddin and Aziz Draim host a denim masterclass at Calvin Klein in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

This was followed by a presentation of Calvin Klein’s Fall ’26 collection, which introduces a range of denim fits to make finding the perfect pair effortless, from the iconic ’90s Straight Jean and the Low Rise Baggy Jeans to classic best-sellers, such as the Wide Leg Jeans and Barrel Jeans. The denim offerings are part of Calvin Klein’s latest campaign, Feel The Fit, which showcases how the right pair of jeans can change the way one carries themselves, allowing them to show different sides of their style and personality through clothes.

To visualise these iconic cuts on the body, Aziz and Alisha style these pieces on models, starting with the classic white top with light blue jeans. This is a can-do-no-wrong everyday look, yet it’s so versatile: whether it’s with a t-shirt, oxford shirt, or a combo of both—short-sleeved button down—paired with slim cut, straight cut or flared. Aziz opted for the baggy jeans with monogram to elevate the look.

This is followed by denim-on-denim ensembles. With roots in American Western and Japanese street culture, this combination is versatile, going from edgy when worn with a printed bra under an indigo shirt or effortlessly casual when the denim dominance is broken up with a simple t-shirt.

It’s not Calvin Klein without the branded waistband peeking out from low-rise jeans. Sleek, simple, and minimalist, this signature look–which exploded in the ’90s–exudes effortless cool, and can be easily layered with a sweatshirt or light jacket. And other trends from the time capsule are reinterpreted for the modern day; on-campus prep is channelled into a crisp shirt and roomie cardigan or collegiate sweater paired with a clean-cut pair of jeans, while ’80s after-school nostalgia comes through in the styling of flared jeans with a striped, long-sleeve athletic top.

Throughout the session, Alisha and Aziz fielded questions from guests, offering style advice and recommendations on how to dress according to the occasion or body type. The wide range of denim available at Calvin Klein, made it easy for them to demonstrate the versatility of the garment. After the session, the guests were invited to browse the collection and try on the different looks themselves.
