In a kaleidoscopic world overrun by uncountable colors, the Fall
season of 2008 sees the resurgence of basic black. With
monochromatic hues taking the forefront—elegance, texture and
effortless simplicity are the proverbial themes seen in Calvin
Klein’s latest collection for women.
Calvin Klein presents the women’s line for
Fall 2008
While Manila may not have four seasons, this
proviso is still no reason to subscribe to the quarterly dictums of
the In’s and Out’s of fashion. The recent incidence of cool
weather is an appropriate raison d’être to turn a rainy day into
a stylish occasion with cK’s latest line of Fall pieces.
Gone are the overpowering hues so associated
with the sweltering summer months. Instead, the eyes are given a
rest in favor of a more structured and tonal palette that is
flattering and impressive given any body type or frame. The power of
monochrome plays up our best features and enhances any silhouette
while masking whatever imperfections women may have.
Colors. Deep shades of evening darks including
rugged grey, modern blue, grey heather, navy, and black, or pales
such as soft silver, cement, and sterling are paramount this season.
Calvin Klein promotes accents of lustrous
brights such as jewel blue, as well as racing and briar green,
provide pops of color throughout. With the sheer versatility of
these basal shades, additions to you wardrobe this Fall 2008
guarantee an updated yet classic stylishness that can endure the
seasons to come.
Feminine and edgy. Sculptural folds throughout
create a delicate sensuality and these dramatic design components
make a perfect foil to the more subdued hues of Calvin Klein’s
latest collection. Smooth rectangular shapes, both lean and
oversized adopted for tops and dresses. Supplely draped sexy poet
dresses are fresh and graceful, while refined straight-leg pants
provide a menswear element.
Fall 2008 pays close attention to highlighting
the feminine figure for a lithe and flattering look. Voluminous
outerwear has a slightly cinched waist. Knits are either oversized
or snug, long and lean. All are twisted, folded and darted to
accentuate the silhouette.
Sensual, natural fabrics. Airy, light silks and
fluid nylons, alongside warm alpacas and softest cashmeres. Texture
is achieved through subtle double-facing, quilting, crushing and
folding of noble fabrics.
Given the simple elegance of cK’s
monochromatic autumnal theme, a play on fabrics will add dimension
and interest to any ensemble. Mixing and matching separates
heightens the drama of style and reveals new options in
complimenting any woman’s wardrobe. Lightweight wool, mohair and
tweed are combined for a modern touch. Wovens are slightly draped in
lightweight crepe de chine or a sultry silk viscose.
