Less is more philosophy is embedded in the DNA of Calvin Klein, Jill Sander, Narciso Rodriguez. Stefano Pilati cleaned up his romantic notions for a more structural, tailored, architectural look at Yves Saint Laurent. Muted tones, move into simplistic futuristic parameters by layering 2D and 3D structures to play with new forms by mixing them classic forms. A comfortable chic look that is easy to mix and match. Fall’s new black? BLACK.
