Think white, black, and taupe, Calvin Klein Resort 2014 by Francisco Costa remained fascinated with putting a new spin on that modern minimalism. The palette is one the Calvin Klein loyalist knows well, the neutrals, which this time it comes with a splash of ultramarine, deep green and brown chestnut, fitting, as the designer has just collaborated with famed minimalist artist Ellsworth Kelly to reinterpret a color block dress the artist created in 1952.
As for the silhouettes, long, lean, and structurally minimal, Francisco Costa’s vision of perfection is loosened up practicality with a little bit of fantasy, showcasing touch of the oh-so-chic ultra-suede pieces, including green suede coat, trench coats, shorts, boxy white jacket, long-sleeved blue top with the zip on the back, and belt-bound outerwear, along with clinical edge flirting provocatively with the detailing of strait jackets. While pencil skirts combined with cropped tops and also cropped sweaters take us back to the 1970s.
