Francisco Costa (born 10 May 1964)[1] is a Brazilian designer and the Women's Creative Director of Calvin Klein Collection.

He obtained employment with Herbert Rounick, whose Seventh Avenue (Manhattan) company made dresses for Oscar de la Renta and Bill Blass.

Costa went to work for de la Renta after Rounick's death, designing for the firm's Japanese licenses.

[1] Costa was mentioned as a possible replacement when Ford retired from designing for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, in late 2003.

Costa also paired clingy, translucent daytime skirts with cashmere tops and layered cardigan over rumpled white shirts and men's ribbed undershirts with loose cotton shorts.

[10] Costa's February, 2006 collection for Calvin Klein was reviewed by The New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn, for conveying "largely a surface beauty".

He approached artists Ghada Amer, Vik Muniz, and Billy Sullivan to make art identified with fashion.

After being shown at the Whitney Art Party, the work was moved and displayed in the windows of the Calvin Klein boutique on Madison Avenue (Manhattan).

Costa donned a coat and tie to join DeStefano for opening day at Belmont Park, where the latter had horses running in the eighth and ninth races.
