Ralph Lauren And Calvin Klein Close New York Fashion Week
South Fork designers Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein closed New York Fashion Week. Lauren’s latest collection featured beaded bolero jackets and fedoras while Klein’s included neutral tones and bustiers woven into more practical pieces. “Erotic. Feminine. Urban. Chic. High sophistication,” are the words Francisco Costa used to describe his spring line for Calvin Klein Collection. It made for an interesting exploration, especially since one of his key influences was the late Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, one of Calvin Klein’s most famous employees. The press loved the collection. Donna Karan looked to the sun, the sand, the sea and the sky as inspiration for her romantic collection that Women’s Wear Daily termed “breathtaking.” In attendance were Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, Jessica Alba and Olivia Wilde.
