Towards the end of the 1980’s, designers like Comme des Garçons, Calvin Klein and Jil Sander pioneered a pared back style which captured minimalism.It was a style focusing on texture, material and most importantly tailoring. After all if you’re not working with colour and print, the cut of your clothes and how they fit becomes even more important.
Today minimalism still exists and although fashion movements like Normcore, Boho and Athleisure are the focus of attention, there are still people designing a skimmed back style - The Row, Vince, and even a chain like Cos, are on board.
