Spring/Summer 2012: Not So Plain, But Very Simple


Minimalism is anything but boring. Think of it like silence and talking, sometimes silence can say more than words. The season's neutral tones and sharp lines create a crisp look that is refreshing after a winter filled with chunky sweaters and fuzzy boots.
In the 3.1 Phillip Lim show, minimalism dominated the runway. Light colors, relaxed shapes, and simple design made up such a beautiful and complex show. The black ensemble below (right) keeps a minimal look, but the pants allow for a slight ruffle, creating small detail that makes the look more interesting.

From Celine, big, boxy t-shirts make a simple look that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
The pants shown in the outfit below are layered so they are more original and diversify the look.Celine Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear


From Jil Sander comes an abundance of basic, neutral tones, and waves of intense color, put into their most simple form.

The minimal looks from Alexander Wang had small detailes that added a twist to the show. Even the most basic ensembles had beautiful, intricate detail.
