Bold, defined, free. These are only some of the words to describe the Spring 2016 Collection of Calvin Klein Platinum – with the pieces highlighted by disrupted modernism that transcends convention. Despite the striking colors and interrupted geometry in shape and prints, the collection still evokes pure and unpretentious style.
For Spring 2016 Women’s Calvin Klein Platinum, silhouettes are streamlined – modern with a layered ease and a defined construction. Familiar proportions display novelty with unexpected and conflicting combinations of shapes and surfaces. Distinctive top stitching accentuates definition. Silver exposed hardware set in black adds a rebellious contrast against soft fluid fabrics. Chalky feminine latticed dresses, transparent and open, are rendered graphic when overlaid on black.
Fabrics are infused with color and energy with compact density textures and smooth modern stretch fabrics defined with contrast stitches. Innovative surfaces are layered with dimension, and the pieces become a palette of unanticipated combinations and provocative clashes shining forth. For instance, serenity nude and ice pink are juxtaposed against graphic dynamic red, bright orange and black. Pops of surprising color appear on belts and break up monochrome silhouettes.
Play around with combinations, like woven tops and dresses paired over body skimming viscose sweaters or pleated ribs. Belts also add more definition to a look, made more interesting when irreverently layered over streamlined maxis or minis.
On the other hand, silhouettes for Calvin Klein Platinum Men’s Spring 2016 are slim fitting. Despite cropped proportions with unexpected pairings, a sense of balance is still created. Innovative combinations of textural surfaces and trims, linear pop piping, athletic mesh and sweater trims frame hems on shorts, collars, plackets and seams. Exposed silver hardware amplifies zippers, snaps and shiny studs to inject an attitude that is youthful and rebellious.
Colors bring unanticipated combinations and provocative clashes with a palette of graphic definition and vibrancy. Black and optical white are paired with sonic blue and speed red, which are also applied as embroidery and piping trims. Key looks are dimensional prints and patterns with playful layers.
For a well-put together look, Calvin Klein Platinum accessories showcase Velocity in a season inspired by dynamism and refined performance. Leather goods feature angular constructions with origami details. Volumes are kept clean and geometric while the contours of handbags are highlighted with graphic-pinched cut edge details. Women’s shoulder bags are offered in both small and large sizes; while men can opt for a dual function mono shoulder/duffle bag in an elongated boxy silhouette and carried with a sharp slouch for a dynamic yet languid poise.
Footwear for her showcase fitted ankle and mid-calf boots made on a bevel construction with an inserted conical mid-height heel. For him, ankle boots and sneakers are built on a leather wrapped rounded bumper wedge for a tough and sturdy twist. The unisex sandals stand on a similar bumper construction finished with wide banded straps and a hidden buckle detail.
