THE TREND: MODERN MINIMALISM
Far from being a recent trend, noted designers Helmut Lang, Jil Sander and Calvin Klein helped to popularize luxe minimalism in the nineties. Pure minimalism is timeless by being simple, relaxed, classic and refined. Calvin Klein refers to minimalism as being an "indulgence in superbly executed cuts, quiet plays of colour tones and clean, strong shapes” which serve as inspiration to many of the street style trends today.
With a fresh perspective of neutral tones, sleek silhouettes and contemporary fabrics, modern minimalism continues to evolve. Mastering the art of minimalistic style provides an incredibly polished look with little effort. One of our favorite things about this trend is that you don’t have to spend a lot to get it - you just need to make sure you are getting the right pieces.
To help you master this trend, here are five minimalistic looks from the runways (and how to get them) to help inspire you and carry you through the Fall season.
