Ugh. I want my Calvin back. This collection headed up by new design director, Francisco Costa, really disappointed me. Imo, it looked like recycled Miu Miu w/barely a touch of minimalism. I mean, one black piece?? I know many people find Calvin himself to be pretty boring, but I find beauty in simplicity. <shrugs>
Originally posted by Fashion Wire Daily Costa, 34, is a 16 year veteran of the fashion business, whose has career has included four years with Gucci, seven with Oscar de la Renta, a passage through Balmain in Paris and a year with Klein. He clearly has talent, and while his debut had its spasms, he showed enough to indicate he understands Klein's aesthetic - so this birth was far from stillborn.
"I love challenges," explained Costa, who told the media, "Calvin told me he was very happy, very satisfied with the collection. I saw him several times today."
Are you kidding, Astrid? Calvin may not suit my style, but I love his work.
His last S/S collection was mindblowing. The washed colors and... I mean it was brilliant. It was one of his best collections seen, IMO.
This collection, on the other hand, is a 50/50 collection. Yes it was so Miu Miu and too safe, but this is his first collection and there are enormous pressure on him. So I'd give him one more chance.
Still, I also want Calvin back. No one can do his work like he can.
i agree.... simplicity is what attracts me always, to clothing. to me less is always more and all these brown tones and fabrics dont do it for me. I like second dress in the last row....
I thought the shaping and architecture of the outfits was very Calvin (am i wrong? very well could be) however I wasn't HUGE on the washed brown tones. I seem to be the only one enjoying the short shorts with the white button downs tucked in to them. I haven't payed attention to Miu Miu so no comment on that but i didn't think it was a bad collection by any means.
Sorry miu miu is much much more intresting than this
Its dull boring, i never thought of calvine as very minimal, more clean , how ever this is just to dull, the only looks a really like are teh sweter with teh full skirts, and the long white dress .
boring but it should seell ok

neutrals were CK's old trademark but new team/gal does NOTHING with them, lacks the twist or snap that Cal gave his brill tones/cuts
some of the fabrics are VERY Prada: the pants & coats with neutrals & like a plaid overlay: also some of cuts / lengths are very prada but theres NOTHING cerebral or smart or new here like prada does EVERY SEASON:: EVERY PIECE!!!
very drab show, clothes, vibe... nothing new & old CK neutrals & prada ideas were lamed out.
