Minimalism S/S 06

[softgrey]

MINIMALISM...
it's the new buzz word in fashion...


designs are pared down...
colours are quieter...
fussiness is banished...
'in your face' fashion is OUT of fashion...

AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS TIME TO PUT MOST OF YOUR JEWELRY and ACCESSORIES AWAY FOR AWHILE...
*only one statement piece per outfit please...
ie-a great belt or a long bold necklace...


**we've seen minimalism before...
but this time it's a softer, more approchable and feminine version...
flirtatious even...

It was about time we moved away from all those hardcore unnecessary detaling thanks to Galliano or McQueen....... ..... Minimalism is SO fresh compared to all the other complicated and gimmicky looks...... Very PLAIN, simple looking.... Natural makeup and shiny clean hair.... Saving the best for last....

Awesome thread once more Softie!!!!

Oh love it too. Of course Calvin Klein has always been quite minimal. The colors seem to be quite minimal in many collections as well. Lots of white black and white in the s/s collections

minimalism is absolutely on the rise for ss06 and beyond, a welcome revival but with a twist to make it interesting

doesnt come as a surprise either
following seasons of over decoration, time for reviving simplicity

thanks for the thread softgrey

Yes, very neutral colors, like nudes, white, black, very soft shade of plum.....

No more vibrant orange/green/yellow/pink.......

Great pics Chanel, thanks for adding the photo credits...

I love how relaxing looking at these pics are ...... Looking at pics from shows that are not minimalist (like Valentino....., D&G)..... give me such a headache and following all the use of of accessories, crazy makeup and such is just so overwhelming.....
