There is something infinitely desirable about a man at ease. But that effect seems multiplied when that man is SEVENTEEN'S Mingyu, and especially so when he is clad in Calvin Klein.

The undoubted main character of Calvin Klein's Fall/Winter '25 denim dispatch more than shook the Internet when both the stills and moving imagery of his campaign were released. Posing beside speakers that barely rivalled in presence, Mingyu wore a denim set that showcased the CK Emblem in a new allover logo graphic. The 1990s denim sat low on the hip to reveal the waistband of the Icon Cotton Stretch Trunk. Layers are indeed optional, as both the striped shirt and signature trucker are left open to embrace jeans' laissez-faire allure. But we'll accord some of the cool to the icon wearing it - scroll for an interview with Mingyu to learn more about his thoughts on personal style, his Calvins, and what being an artist for a decade has taught him about fashion.
