JENNIE Revives Kate Moss’ Iconic 1993 Calvin Klein Runway Look at Summer Sonic 2026

JENNIE brought a defining moment from Calvin Klein’s fashion archives back into the spotlight during her performance at Summer Sonic 2026 in Tokyo.

The BLACKPINK star took the stage in a custom Calvin Klein ensemble inspired by the brand’s Spring/Summer 1993 runway look originally modeled by Kate Moss. Blending 1990s minimalism with her own confident performance style, JENNIE transformed the archival reference into a fresh festival fashion moment.

Her outfit featured an oversized denim vest, relaxed low-rise jeans and a classic Calvin Klein beret. The reversed and inside-out denim details gave the look a deliberately undone quality, recalling the effortless attitude that made Moss’ original runway appearance so memorable.

Rather than recreating the outfit exactly, Calvin Klein adapted its proportions and construction for JENNIE and the energy of a live performance. The loose denim silhouette allowed her to move comfortably across the stage while maintaining the understated, rebellious appeal associated with the original design.

From the 1993 Runway to the Summer Sonic Stage

Kate Moss’ relationship with Calvin Klein helped define the minimalist fashion movement of the early 1990s. Her stripped-back styling and natural presence offered a sharp contrast to the glamorous supermodel aesthetic that had dominated the previous era.

The Spring/Summer 1993 runway look reflected that shift. Its oversized denim, casual layering and unconventional styling celebrated clothing that appeared relaxed, personal and imperfect.

More than three decades later, JENNIE brought that same attitude to Summer Sonic—but with the commanding presence of a global music and fashion star. The result felt nostalgic without becoming a costume. It honored an important Calvin Klein archive moment while introducing it to a new generation of fans.

JENNIE Continues Her Calvin Klein Fashion Story

The Summer Sonic appearance also extended JENNIE’s established relationship with Calvin Klein. She has appeared in several of the brand’s campaigns and collaborated with the label on a limited-edition capsule collection in 2023 featuring denim, underwear, dresses, T-shirts and relaxed wardrobe essentials.

That history made the Kate Moss-inspired stage look especially fitting. Both women have helped represent Calvin Klein during different cultural eras: Moss as one of the faces who defined the brand’s minimalist identity in the 1990s, and JENNIE as a modern global ambassador connecting fashion, music and international youth culture.

JENNIE’s ability to move between Chanel elegance, contemporary streetwear and Calvin Klein minimalism has made her one of today’s most closely watched celebrity style figures. She does more than wear designer clothing—she brings each look into her own visual world.

An Archival Look Reimagined for a New Generation

Fashion houses have increasingly returned to their archives for inspiration, but the most successful revivals do more than reproduce the past. They create a conversation between generations.

JENNIE’s Summer Sonic look accomplished exactly that. Fans familiar with Kate Moss and Calvin Klein’s 1990s history could immediately recognize the reference, while younger audiences encountered the design through one of the world’s most influential performers.

The outfit preserved the relaxed denim, oversized proportions and rebellious spirit of the 1993 original. At the same time, JENNIE’s performance gave it renewed energy and contemporary relevance.

From Kate Moss on the Calvin Klein runway to JENNIE commanding the Summer Sonic stage, the look demonstrates how an iconic fashion moment can evolve without losing its original character. More than 30 years later, Calvin Klein’s minimalist denim still feels modern—and JENNIE proved that the best archival fashion can be remembered, reinterpreted and made entirely new.
