Calvin Klein’s 1990s Revival Under the Lens of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy

TL;DR Summary
Vanessa Friedman notes that Ryan Murphy’s Love Story revives Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s minimalist Calvin Klein era, but Grace Leoni’s show veers into a patchwork revival of late-70s/early-80s looks. Friedman argues this misses Calvin Klein’s core identity and suggests leaning into the brand’s distilled, rigorous minimalism rather than recreating scattered vintage cues.
