Calvin Klein White Label Fall 2015

“I’m calling myself a sensualist rather than a minimalist.” That was global creative director Kevin Carrigan’s analysis of his fall lineup for Calvin Klein White Label — and he wasn’t kidding. Held for the first time closer to the cocktail hour than the morning brew, Thursday’s presentation featured models in various states of dress in mise-en-scène that gave off a loungy, slightly louche vibe. And Carrigan wasn’t afraid to lose the hard lines to show a lot of skin, albeit tastefully so. Chalk, ecru, tan and black were paired with powdery ice blue and blush pink. In this age of transparency, he didn’t shy away from a little lace or a black bra strap peaking from an ecru knee-length dress or a transparent sleeveless V-neck top (later removed to reveal an ultragirly bra) worn with a lean powder-blue skirt.

Another source of inspiration was the all-black, “very decadent, kind of sexual” East 58th Street apartment designed for Klein by Joe D’Urso.
