Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2011 collection_30/10/2010

Costa’s spring/Summer 2011 collection was nothing close to avant-garde or couture, Francisco Costa proved the old saying: simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, correct.

The modern age of individualism has forced us to go back to the beginning. A total pendulum swing has happened and the final destination looks rather good. A clean, white, pure and natural state is introduced by Francisco Costa.

 The words structural simplicity and more-is-less best described this collection. It doesn't look like he went too far in search of inspiration, Costa’s colours and silhouettes ranging from a snow white sleeveless jumpsuit made from the finest silk with a functional draw string finish around the waist to a pearl white silk dress with an exaggerated v-neck. Not complicated at all finishes were all kept to a minimum, elegantly so!

Costa’s range proves that simplicity is always the best mode of dress. The business woman is assured in this label that business and pleasure sure can come to some sort of agreement.  The use of drapery, functional detail and the mixtures of simple silhouettes echoed the minimalist architecture of our days.


The collection had to be the most uncompromising and the most relevant, especially for those who work and crave a structural and functional wardrobe. Nothing beats understanding and efficiency. Francisco Costa has truly come to the rescue!
