NEW YORK – We're winding down at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and the buzz for what you'll be wearing next spring is anything and everything.

Designer Calvin Klein's show on Thursday showcased minimalist frocks by Francisco Costa, with subtly cubist and geometric themes.

Hate bold colors and favor nudes and neutrals? Calvin Klein, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Peter Som have them.

Want bold colors to brighten your closet? Klein, Lim and Som have them, too.

It's a season full of options. Oh, just make sure you get a sexy jumpsuit, because it's one of the strongest comebacks we're seeing.

Designer Anna Sui loves to reference time periods (rocker and hippie chic tend to turn up often), but this spring she was inspired by travel.

She took audiences at her Wednesday night show south of the border with a collection full of folk-inspired Mexican embroideries, colorful zodiac prints and intricate beading details. Olé! The only things missing were frozen margaritas.

Director Sofia Coppola, sitting in the front row, whispered, "I loved the sandals.

"I also loved the resort-y feel of the show."

When asked backstage to sum up her collection, Ms. Sui laughed heartily and replied with one word, "Sunny!"

Unlike Sui, you won't find anything embellished at Calvin Klein. Francisco Costa's designs for the ultraminimalist label continue to speak volumes.

And for a spring season full of feminine flourishes, it was refreshing to view an essentially bare collection that still managed to excite with in interesting play on shapes.

Costa loves to toy with cubist and geometric themes, and for spring he took it to the nth degree with wide-set, bold shoulders; ballooning coats and dresses; delicate pleats; and jutting folds that made the models look as if they were wearing paper-thin origami creations.

Good luck trusting a dry cleaner with these dresses.

The beautifully cut, razor-sharp collection was full of white and nude looks, punctuated with zings of bold blue, blush shades and silver sheen.
