MINIMALISTIC

In the course of the 90’s there was a shift in fashion for women. Designers like Calvin Klein and Donna Karan made easy clothes for modern working women. Klein defined his idea for the modern minimalistic woman intimate wear to have, ‘an indulgence in superbly executed cut, quite plays of colour tones and clean, strong shape.’ For a bride who thinks, less is more; this is definitely your style.
