Minimalism

What Phoebe Philo calls "Contemporary Minimalism" consists in refined lines, neutral tones, comfortable garments, simplicity to its extreme. Whereas the world goes out of the Recession, these streamlined silhouettes could be a way to go back to basics. But Celine is not alone to adopt that chic simplicity: Giambattista Vali, Stella Mc Cartney, Dries Van Noten have also paved the way to a fashionwise minimalist winter. These collections convey a feeling of general anonymity, hinting that beauty and power come from the inside.

"Black and white association is always very minimalist chic, and according to me, leather fabric just exacerbates this. My shoes needed to be super high and black to tigh the whole thing together. I like the fact that the heels are in wood though, another little twist, making the general look unconventionnaly minimalist."

"I love simple style, I'm bored with everything too 'over the top', so minimalism is like fresh air for me. I wear the same colors from head to toe to look minimalist. Like Francisco Costa said 'a minimalist wardrobe can help us to simplify our surroundings'." June

"I really like this trend because it's very easy to create and to wear and is also the style that is harder to go wrong with because you only wear the ESSENTIALS, so there's no risk of ruining the outfit with any excesses." Angy
