Below are some excerpts from the cast, you can read the full editorial piece by Calvin Klein here.

Mahershala Ali on the cast:
You get older and you think you have some things figured out, but [these younger guys] reminded me of the power of exploring. They reminded me that it’s okay to not know everything about life.

Alex Hibbert on his love of clothes:
Well, it’s just like the attitude, the personality. Like, it can be like me — dark inside and bright outside.

Ashton Sanders on Raf Simons:
I just met Raf and I almost fainted, man, really. I’ve been a fan of his since I was in the 10th grade. He just looked me up and down, and then he nodded, like, ‘I like your look.’ I almost passed out.

Trevante Rhodes on his newfound stardom:
Everyone I talk to is like, ‘I can’t give you any advice. I’ve never seen anything like this.
