Calvin Klein debut a new, understated Pride collection
Forget gimmicky rainbow collections Calvin Klein's Pride 2026 is a genuine celebration of LGBTQ+ identity, fronted by three icons who embody it in the most authentic way possible.
June doesn’t just herald the start of summer, it heralds the beginning of the best month of the year: Pride Month. Though many brands choose to celebrate the festivities by launching gimmicky, over-the-top rainbow collections, Calvin Klein is doing things a little differently.
The brand’s pride collection includes a range of boxers, jock straps and sheer mesh t-shirts in bright monochromatic colourways. It’s loud and proud, but versatile enough to wear all year round. There’s also a range of bras, boxers and briefs in muted colourways with soft, iridescent rainbow underbands. Of course, there are pieces available with the logo in full rainbow hues if you’re hoping to spread the badge of honour a little bit more ostentatiously.
As for the campaign, Calvin Klein has tapped Deon Hinton, Sam Salter and Jordan Rand, LGBTQ+ icons shot in a way that’s authentic to their identities. Multidisciplinary artist Deon Hinton shot his own intimate images, while dancer Sam Salter was captured mid-movement. As Jordan Rand made her fame riding motorcycles, it’s only right that her two-wheeled side-kick would accompany her in the campaign imagery.
The collection and the campaign captures the true spirit of Pride: not just a month-long festival with one-size-fits-all rainbows, but a representation of lifelong celebration and identity. Shop
