Minimalism in fashion comes and goes, but it wasn't until the 1990s when it really took off with Jil Sander, Calvin Klein and Ann Demeulemeester of the Antwerp Six gaining in popularity. Now 20 years on its back in a big way. Long lean black maxi dresses and soft black mid length silk shifts are hitting the runways of the world as the perfect anecdote to the Balmain shoulder boulder studded rock chick look. The slim silhouette of the black Alpha 60 dress with its silk shoulder drapery just speaks of 1990s refrained elegance and when teamed with some simple yet bold jewellery and some black wedge booties you modernise the look taking it from 1990s costume party to 2010s art gallery opening in an instant.
