Black ruled the runway this fall, with designers using it to outfit models monochromatically as well as in combination with subtle touches of color, like deep eggplant and ecru. Minimalism is the key for fall, with designers keeping details to a minimum and eschewing the decadent detailing of recent seasons.
Chloe
Well known luxury line once again turned to an unusual fabric choice for winter: chiffon. Feminine details were also contrasted with cutouts and studs, whether on leggings or coats and even shoes. Overall, the collection was geared toward the young, showcasing unusual fabric choices, but using one color, namely black to tie them together, although white with deep fall colors was a commonly used print.
Calvin Klein
Calvin’s Klein signature simplicity came through in Francisco Costa’s almost severe precision. Utilizing the Season’s deepest colors including a nearly black navy coat, the collection consisted mainly of black. This plunging maxi cocktail dress would be too simple if it weren’t for the metallic sheen of the fabric that contrasts brilliantly with the minimalist design of the dress.
Chanel
Karl Lagerfield kept up the timelessness of Chanel showcasing classic tweed with giant quilted bags and pearls. But he kept the house favorites updated, like in this party dress with just the right fringe, in keeping with the updated retread of Coco Chanel’s “poverty de luxe.”
