I see London, I see ...

that emerald one isn't exactly intended for the curvy girl, now is it?

 

[Diorling]

I don't think any of them as displayed are intended for the 'curvy girl'. But since when have designers looked for buxom models with big hips to exhibit their new designs? Its the fashions that are supposed to be on display here, not the models.

I'm certain that when the line is released to the public (or at least to 'special individuals'), the dresses will be cut in more flattering lines for someone like a Pamela Anderson or Anastacia Newkirk who would like to wear one in public.

Never really was a fan of Calvin Klein, but Costa (is it him? forgot his name....) does a great job of staying true to the CK philosophy..... very clean and simple lines.....

 

[Spike413]

Hmm, a bit disappointed. Again he's doing these vivid colors that are just so not CK. The "nightgown' dresses could be prettier if they were cut a little bit closer to the body. I'll wait to see the whole collection, but I doubt this one will live up to last season.

About ten minutes before the first look walked out onto the runway at the Calvin Klein fashion show at Milk Studios Thursday evening, Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, looking what some eyewitnesses described as “drenched,” abruptly exited the building along with Fairchild Publications chairman and editorial director Patrick McCarthy. “Our society has become overwrought with an obsession over these blonde celebrities,” proclaimed Vogue editor at large André Leon Talley post show, referring to the starlets, which included Ashley Olsen, Melissa George and Alexis Bledel (not to mention the hoards of photographers with their backsides to Wintour) that peppered the front row directly across from Wintour’s seat. “It’s all about the photo opportunities now and no longer about the clothes. This is precisely the reason why my friend Mariah Carey would never come to a show for this exact reason.” Wintour was unreachable for comment.

While the celebrities have certainly been a noticeable annoyance to Wintour this week—at Wednesday night’s Narciso Rodriguez show, she walked backstage with her security guard after photographers came too close while trying to shoot Rachel Weisz and Claire Danes, for instance—all said and done, it was most likely a combination of factors which led to her attention getting exit. The sudden humidity experienced in New York caught several show venues off guard, and at the Calvin Klein show, temperatures easily soared into the high 80’s/low 90’s under the harsh spotlights and packed-in conditions. “Anna was extremely hot and frustrated,” explained Kim Vernon, senior vice president of global communications and advertising, backstage after the show. “We started 35 minutes after 5pm; at 5:20pm the first dress arrived and 15 minutes later, the show started. I have a personal policy that we start 30 minutes after the called for time. I apologized to [Harper’s Bazaar editor in chief] Glenda Bailey for the heat and she said, figuratively, ‘It’s ok; it was a hot show.’”

“There’s a way to say we have no more seats and that there’s no more room. It’s a show for people who are trying to do their jobs,” Talley continued. And indeed, to give the Calvin Klein team their due kudos, a late-arriving Rosario Dawson was waiting downstairs for the elevator and the show started without her. “Baby Phat, Marc Jacobs—with a marching band—Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang all started on time. In the world of fashion, 32 minutes is on time; it is the magic number.”

“Patrick and Anna left together,” Talley emphasized. “That is a powerful statement.”

Why do these dresses remind me of 5 dresses designed by Pilati? Anyway, you gotta give CK some credit. It was better than the last/second last collection, when the clothes were basically pieces of fabric draped on the girls.

although those squared jackets are really ugly.. it looks they are going to be big.. but hate 'em

I actually like this collection a lot. The sensibilities are well honed. Simple but just the right kid of detail to keep me interested.
