Calvin Klein Fall 2011 Presentation

Kevin Carrigan’s vision for Calvin Klein’s fall collection is refined yet relaxed. “The idea of lounging in your pajamas, with your bathrobe coat and snakeskin,” Carrigan quipped at the editor-packed CK presentation, “Calvin was always inspired by the colors of the Southwest and I wanted to use that as my inspiration this season.” Autumn is the perfect time for all things Southwestern and the warm color palette, combined with the wide array of textures, made for an appealing selection. Lanky models wore shades of tan, rust and granite as they stood perched on pedestals looking chic in standout pieces like the loose-fitting copper-colored pants and heather gray wrap coat. Minimalism is a Calvin trademark, but for those in search of statement pieces there were plenty of options: head-to-toe boa print for women and Don Draper-worthy wool suits for the guys. Throw in a series of utilitarian accessories covered in scales, furs and suede and you have the makings of an incredible (and affordable) modern wardrobe.
