Calvin Klein Review | Fashion Week Fall 2013

For Fall 2013, Francisco Costa injected Calvin Klein's usual allegiance to monochromatic minimalism with a pattern other designers have featured heavily this season: glen plaid. The designer used the check in a number of pieces but echoed its intersecting lines elsewhere, like a pleated leather dress affixed with bits of metal arranged to look like square crosses, or a wool skirt with square hole cutouts. Many of the looks were cinched in with belts so large they might be more familiar to rodeo champions or professional boxers than runway models.
