I ♥ minimalism! - Calvin Klein
August 26, 2011

Clean lines, simple silhouettes, monochromatic palettes... I love minimalism! It's all about keeping it simple yet very sophisticated, because minimal style shouldn't be mistaken as boring. Let's focus on one of the most popular and minimalist fashion houses out there:
Calvin Klein


On the catwalk
Daphne Groeneveld, Karlie Kloss, Kasia Struss and ? walk on the runway with stunning CK's creations. Simple shapes, monochromatic colors and rich materials are strong characteristics of the brand.


Neutrals & brights 
Besides their signature white, grey, black and other neutral shades, brighter colors (like blue or even neon green) also make its appearance in some of the shows. The clothes are still minimal but have a new colorful twist.


Runway details
Just like the clothes, Calvin Klein's shows in New York fashion week are always kept beautifully simple. Details like sky high heels, fur or a hood in the back of a dress complete the look.


Beauty
Calvin Klein's girls wear very subtle makeup, just to enhance their natural beauty. The hair is usually down or up in a messy and effortless hairdo. In the pictures: Daria Strokous, Monika Jagaciak and Snejana Onopka.


Backstage

The icon
The famous ad campaigns that launched Kate Moss's career. Gorgeous, even in black and white!


The face
Dutch supermodel Lara Stone is the face - and body - of the main line, as well as their second ones (underwear, eyewear, etc).


Other campaigns
First picture - Toni Garrn for Calvin Klein Collection (my personal favorite, that green dress... unf); Second pic - Gemma Ward for Obsession Night (perfume); Third pic - Barbara Palvin for Forbidden Euphoria (perfume).


On magazines
Calvin Klein minimalist designs look amazing in fashion editorials, alone or together with other designer pieces. In the first one, Jessica Stam (left) wears a sheer dress from the collection. In the second one, both Abbey Lee and Kasia Struss wear two CK dresses, paired with some edgy Dr Martens.


On the red carpet
Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone wearing CK gowns on the red carpet. I love that they're apparently plain, but at the same time very sexy and flattering to women's body. That peachy color of Emma's dress is lovely!

I hope you enjoy this minimalist "trend" as much as I do! xoxo
