Maybe it's in tune with current events - with the economy still trying to recover and so many tragedies happening around the world. While fashion is seen by many to be frivolous and out of touch, this season's offerings show that they're not totally detached from reality.
And when it comes to minimalism, no one does it as well as Phoebe Philo. I've liked her work since she was with Stella McCartney in Chloe. In fact, I remember buying this baby doll dress by See by Chloe in Macau a few years back.
Now that she's with Celine, she continues with her take on chic minimalism. But to keep it from being too drab, she adds colors and details to - as Anna Wintour would say - lift it.
Not surprisingly, Zara has a lot of minimalist pieces in store right now. And again, some of them are inspired by this collection by Philo.
Looks like it's going to be a clean and austere summer this 2011.
