Minimalist fashion, sometimes referred to as classic fashion, was part of an artistic movement that began in the late 1950's
Sleek, clean, unfussy and understated designs that were reflected in everything from fine art, furniture architecture and of course fashion
Minimalist style is a very literal interpretation of shunning anything extravagant or frivolous
In the fashion world, this means, no busy prints, no flouncy ruffles, tassels, ribbons or bows
this goes for men too. Peaking in popularity in the 1950s and 1990s, minimalist clothing style is thankfully is here to stay
Although, it did take a very long holiday in the late '60s through to the late '80s
Minimalism is also an attitude. The good men and women of Scandinavia are the most renowned culture in the world to embrace minimalism i
e, the concept of living simply. Their vocabulary includes words such as lagom (just the right amount), hygge (comfortable, cosy and content), and fika (the simple act of taking the time to have a cup of tea with a friend)
This minimalist culture is expressed brilliantly in minimalist outfits thanks to designers such as Filippa K, Malene Birger and even fast fashion brand COS
The Japanese are also prominent minimalists in many aspects of their lives. Brands like Muji thread the concept through basic stationery, homeware and fashion which has proven to be a huge international success
Minimalist fashion designers concentrate on constructing clean silhouettes simple lines and shapes
However, don't make the mistake of thinking they're not considered or easy to tailor
A fashion cop-out they are not. Pioneers of this movement such as Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein, set the tone that has been continued brilliantly by the likes of Issey Miyaki, Khaite, Camila and Marc, Dion Lee and Dom Bagnato for men
Chances are, when you hear the word minimalist fashion, the first colours that come to mind are black, white, navy and beige
While that's a part of it, modern minimalists incorporate pops of colour that can be mixed and matched to great effect
For the leader of the pack in the women's category, who can go past the girl of the moment, Meghan Markle
Along with her sister in law Kate, she is the consummate minimalist. The Duchess of Sussex was snapped on her 2018 Australian royal tour wearing a stunning navy dress by Sydney designer Dion Lee
Getty Images Lee created the gown especially for Meghan and the minute she stepped out of Government House wearing it his website crashed
In tribute, his website now looks like this. Dion Lee A modern male stalwart of the classic minimalist fashion movement is none other than Benedict Cumberbatch
