Understated sensuality was seen on the catwalk for the Calvin Klein Spring 2013 collection.
The ready-to-wear pieces emphasized minimalism with a sleek and tasteful look by Francisco Costa. The masterful designer achieved the task of creating garments that are alluring in their lines and textures, yet remain classic with a sense of simplicity. The palette for spring was one of muted neutrals and versatile shades.
Each piece was tailored to perfection whilst incorporating the silhouettes de rigueur. Peplums, circular necklines and A-lines gave a decidedly retro edgy to each look and showcased the label's strength when it comes to clean, put-together looks. The idea of a modern day pin-up model comes to mind, a muse partial to elegance without sacrificing feminine allure.
