Calvin Klein, For The Wealthy White Minimalist In You
LatestA Calvin Klein collection under creative director Francisco Costa‘s watch has a certain familiar rhythm. There are the black clothes, and the white clothes. There is the blank minimalist rigor. There is exactly the one black model.
There are the celebrities in the front row — this season the more serious types, like Julianne Moore, were mixed in with Katie Holmes and the Australian soap opera actress Isabel Lucas.
There’s the ceremonial unveiling of the buzzed-about New Girl, the model who has nabbed the Calvin exclusive of the season, the only exclusive in New York that matters. (An “exclusive” is when a girl is booked by a brand to do a particular show, and only that show, in a given fashion week. Debuting as a Calvin exclusive has recently helped start the careers of girls including Jac Jagaciak and Karlie Kloss.)
This season, the laurels were given to a Belgian by the name of Chavelli Inghels.
