Calvin Klein Goes Mod for Fall 2011


A clean Mod look was the way to go for Calvin Klein at Fashion Week in NYC. "I began by thinking of the Mods and their sense of style, but then added volume and took it somewhere different with the fabrics," said ready-to-wear designer Francisco Costa.

The hedonism of the British youth cult was apparent in the curvy silhouette, almost chess piece, which Costa used in slate metallic sheath dresses or Alpaca sweatshirts. Though his most striking looks were a series of mono-color short dresses enlivened with just a few contrasting panels. Costa also broke new ground with his fabrics, in particular a ribbon jacquard that was futurist and dramatic when used in several great cocktail dresses. Most looks were anchored by brushed calf pumps in colors like wheat, zinc and truffle.
