Drake needs custom clothing for how sweaty he gets in concert

Calvin Klein designer ensures Drake is free to jump around to his heart's content.
Much like a subatomic particle, Drake is constantly in motion… and just like a particle, he converts that motion into “Energy.” Boom. An unfortunate side effect of all the running around that both Drake and Steve Ballmer alike can attest to is that you get really, really sweaty. So just how does a multimillionaire music superstar deal with all that excess moisture, especially when it has a tendency to uh, ‘start from the bottom’? Calvin Klein designer Italo Zucchelli has some insight, which he shared with Styleite.com:
“I had to be careful that the clothes would not rip and would be comfortable for him for what he needed to do. He literally jumps a lot, and he sweats. I went to see him, and I understood why…It was very interesting for me to see his requirements like how he tests the clothes, according to his movements because he sweats a lot so he likes to be very lightweight and he likes to be very free because he dances, he moves, he jumps, so it was interesting”
You heard it here first, Drake likes to jump, and he sweats while doing it! As a the up-and-coming designer for the leaping-and-perspiring set, Zucchelli should be expecting a call form Steve Ballmer any day now.
