Calvin Klein Spring 2012: Simple fabric & delicate cuts


"The palette of melting sorbets segued into tones of black, and suddenly those brassiere details and the flashes of translucent chiffon slips under low-cut necklines took on a sexier edge—recalling the lightly clad subjects in the Paul Outerbridge photographs that inspired Costa. Even though these flimsy dresses and those divided skirts are occasionally worn under abbreviated jackets and svelte coats, this seems a collection intended primarily for a woman who blossoms after dark." - VOGUE

What is a better way to start off Spring 2012 with light, peachy tones for day and black for night? This Calvin Klein collection reminds me a lot of Spring a la 2008, which is the first time I picked up a fashion magazine and fall in love with Calvin Klein. The fabrics! The cuts! The way the fabrics hang! All the looks are minimalistic yet delicate, suitable for every women of every age(well, except for the dress with glittery starfishes all over it. That is the only thing I dislike in the whole exquisite collection)

This is another collection that relates to The Great Gatsby, besides Marc Jacobs. Carefully-cut slip dresses that come to the ankle(or mid-calf) with low, simple necklines are the main pieces of the show, alternating in colours of peach tones, black and silvery-blue. There are also occasional metallic and overcoats incorporated slyly into the collection, accessorized with simple, platforms in varying shades.

For next spring, I'm honestly giving minimalism more attention.
