According to Fashionista.com<\/a>, Simons has been titled the newest chief creative officer of the American label.<\/p>\n

On their official Instagram account, Calvin Klein shared a black and white snapshot of the 48-year-old design talent. In a caption, the fashion house described Simons\u2019 new role with the company.<\/p>\n

As chief creative officer, Simons is set to lead Calvin Klein\u2019s new global creative strategy, which aims to unite all the various Calvin Klein brands under one umbrella. He is slated to showcase his debut collection in Fall 2017.<\/p>\n

In addition to the appointment of Simons, Calvin Klein has also appointed Pieter Mulier as their new creative director. Mulier, who has been Simons\u2019 right hand since 2002, will now be working directly under Simons in his new role.<\/p>\n
