“There will always be women who go for purity,” observed Calvin Klein in 1993. Although his work had long shown minimalist tendencies, Klein pushed the aesthetic to its limits during the nineties. His clothes were immaculately constructed and, perhaps most important, they were designs that women were able to imagine themselves wearing.
