'90s MINIMALISM

Tailoring, volume, sculpture, and restraint. Those were the buzzwords for a bevy of designer looks for fall. This less-is-more sensibility translated into sharp, menswear-inspired suits, cocoon-shaped coats, and even a few hard-edged leather leggings. Back to the basics also meant back to black. These streamlined designs all relied on a solid noir palette, from the sleek versions at Versace and Jil Sander to the more feminine feel at Givenchy and Dolce & Gabbana.
