September 11, 2007Athletic Glam
Tanks were conceived with square necks, isoceles halters, and racerbacks over deep V-shapes. A dress that appeared to be a fabulous floor-length tee was actually a sheath made up of two complementary panels, the under layer cut to reveal calf with a swinging stride. The effect was a glammed up athleticism reminiscent of a young Coco Chanel. Not to be overlooked were the pitch-perfect accessories -- must-have wedges, sky-scraping heels and oversized aviator shades. Project Runway's Nina Garcia promised several pieces would be showing up in the pages of Elle.

At first glance, the warm-weather wear Francisco Costa presented this evening looked like clones of themselves. (The show itself was a repeat as the 5pm presentation I went to was staged after the 4pm show that Ashley Olsen, Kate Bosworth, and Calvin Klein underwear model slash Oscar-nominated actor, Djimon Hounsou attended with Kimora Lee Simmons.) Razor-strap tanks, silk shirt dresses, and high-waisted skirts and trousers seemed to make up a uniform of luxe minimalism, but when the models made their way around the cubist maze the seating arrangement created in the Calvin Klein office space two blocks west of Fashion Week's Bryant Park hub, I got a closer look at the intricate details that distinguished each piece.
