Based on the high-profile relationship between the late John F. Kennedy Jr. and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/carolyn-bessette-kennedy-wardrobe-essentials\">Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy<\/a>, the FX series has many in a chokehold. Some are mesmerized by new Hollywood heartthrob Paul Anthony Kelly (and his uncanny resemblance to JFK Jr., whom he portrays in the show), while others are fixated on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/the-summer-drop-gapstudio-review\">\u201890s fashion<\/a>. The latter has sparked a surge in vintage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/calvin-klein-history\">Calvin Klein<\/a> looks, the label where Bessette-Kennedy built her career as a fashion publicist during the decade. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery generation of fashion fans discovers \u201890s Calvin Klein \u2014 and by extension, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy \u2014 in their own time, but <em>Love Story<\/em> certainly bumped interest up to another level,\u201d notes Steve Dool, the senior director of brand and creative at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.depop.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Depop<\/a>, a popular resale platform. He says buzz around the label started when the first episode aired early last month and has remained steady since. \u201cIn February, searches on Depop for \u201890s Calvin Klein increased by 1,646%, and vintage Calvin Klein in general is up +571%, which gives some insight into how quickly viewers act to translate the show\u2019s styling and aesthetics into actual shopping behavior,\u201d the expert explains.<\/p>\n<p>Dool says today\u2019s shoppers are flocking to archival Calvin Klein pieces that embody the brand\u2019s signature \u201890s minimalism in an accessible way. Such styles include silk slip dresses, straight-leg denim, tailored trousers, simple midi skirts, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/elevated-basics-brands\">classic basics<\/a> like tanks and tees. \u201cThese items capture the clean, pared-back aesthetic Calvin Klein helped define during the decade in the most straightforward way, and are, broadly speaking, fairly easy to incorporate into your existing wardrobe,\u201d Dool shares. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"QfP\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Carolyn Bessette at a Calvin Klein Fashion Show in 1994\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2026\/3\/10\/a50caad5\/new-york-ny-april.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=focalpoint&amp;dpr=2&amp;fp-x=0.442&amp;fp-y=0.4823\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Patrick McMullan\/Patrick McMullan\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Carolyn Bessette Kennedy at a Calvin Klein fashion show in 1995\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2026\/3\/10\/baca7c95\/new-york-ny-february.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=focalpoint&amp;dpr=2&amp;fp-x=0.6841&amp;fp-y=0.3376\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Patrick McMullan\/Patrick McMullan\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-455167691\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Depop isn\u2019t the only platform recording a jump in vintage Calvin Klein searches.
