The Carolina Herrera collection begins in a study of black and white, with a considered focus on one exclamation point accentuating each look. A precision-cut high waisted pant, worn with an oversize floral top in crisp cotton. An immaculate dress in optic white lace and Guipure. A dazzling organza polka dot coat with exploding florettes in clashing sizes, worn with a skirt of the inverse color. A strapless gown in a riot of ruched polka dots and handmade gathered flowers, an optimistic and playful take on black and white.
The collection blooms into color, in a tightly edited palette of four bold hues. Creative Director, Wes Gordon seeks perfection in each piece through the most precise choice of color, cut and silhouette, with an exacting dedication to graphic glamour. The joyous approach to dressing is applied across day and eveningwear, from a perfectly cut cotton dress with exaggerated balloon sleeves in Herrera red, to the striking silk faille gown in a vision of Delphinium blue. One cannot help but smile in an effortless jersey dress in Happy pink, or a tulle confection in Taxicab yellow.
Matching handbags and delicate jewelry hearken to a playful and irreverent way of dressing, highlighting the incomparable expertise of our New York-based atelier.
