Calvin Klein this is for the Cool


Calvin Klein's designer Francisco Costa has lightened up for spring.

Fall was primarily focused on a dark palette of charcoal grays and blacks with heavy coats and loose silhouettes. Not anymore. The show started with a string of sporty ethereal, stark white looks – form-fitting shift dresses, easy suit combinations and turtlenecks. Then nude shades (show notes call it "doeskin") started to appear along with cool pastels of blue and green in the form of dripping satin organza and halter dresses.

While there was nothing earth-shattering or new, we're sure that the Calvin-cool customer will certainly approve.

As the strains of Massive Attack's ethereal "Teardrop" started booming overhead, we remembered it was the same exact song that was used in Calvin Klein's show way back in spring 1999. Even the clean, white and beige looks from the collection felt oddly familiar. Simply put, these clothes are so modern, they're timeless.
