![]() Calvin Klein
Citing inspiration from Elizabeth Taylor in "Butterfield 8", (this was only meant to be a mood, not an overt reference), Costa relied on the fconsistency of a flattering, lean, dark silhouette (using various shades of heathered gray which almost appeared to be black), to create an architecturally minimalist line. It was very consistent from start to finish: narrow knee length skirts, dresses, and coats...the first two cut so that one could actually move (long was reserved for a few narrow black evening columns); lean elongated pants,;easy jackets (some of which had raglan sleeves and an active sportswear feel owing to zippers and hoods); and artfully constructed chunky cable stitch hand knits which were treated like outerwear. And which were so heavy I suppose Francisco thought of them as a politically correct replacement for furs, which were notably absent from the runway. And of course, there were the coats, which have always been a strong point for Calvin Klein since the very beginning. Everything was shown with thick black opaque tights and black suede high heeled pumps. The models' hair was pulled back into straight pony tails and there were no accessories or jewels to break the line. ![]() |
