The Calvin Klein show opened with a nude slip dress made from very light, delicate fabric that was so sheer it almost matched the model’s skin color. From the start Francisco Costa set the tone that his Spring 2012 collection- feminine sensuality. Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, Ashley Greene, Rachel Zoe, Anna Wintour and Chloe Moretz were all in attendance and sitting front row.
In the past Costa had designed structured pieces with hints of geometry but this season he designed a collection that, as he described after the show, represented “a celebration of the body.”
The sheer black bodices paired with wide-legged cropped pants were strategically cut at places that would show a little bit of skin and evoke sensuality. A lot of the dresses were cut in areas such as the lower back and at the sides of the torso showing just enough skin. There were also well-tailored jackets that had pleating details and skirts that hit right below the knee.
The shoes were also beautiful- round toe skinny stiletto heels in tan, black, and silver. The models had very little make-up, they looked like they had washed their faces and went out on the runway, and the hair was also styled to look clean and very natural. This collection was definitely designed for the woman who doesn’t like the fuzz of bright colors and prints, but she appreciates neutral colors and well-designed pieces that are timeless and sophisticated.
