Calvin Klein Collection's Italo Zucchelli had bold blocks of monotone colour on his mind for spring. He started his collection subtly but powerfully, using layers of barely-there nude colours that sat mysteriously on the models' bodies like a second skin. The silhouettes were pared down into basic shapes like racerback tank tops, bun-enhancing tight pants, blouson jackets and puffed shorts. Zucchelli slowly built his colour story by introducing punches of lemon and tangerine as racing stripes running down pants or on athletic under billowing, which led to full-on cherry and orange windbreakers trapped in cages of similarly coloured transparent plastic shells. He finished off with an oxblood flourish, using the rich colour on eel skin tank tops and matching technical pants.
