…it simply wowed.
Carolina Herrera looked to the graphic modernism of the Bauhaus movement for spring—the results of which translated into linear progressions of feminine designs that simply wowed. Fluttery, breezy and swoopy—these were all words that summed up the collection, which utilized diaphanous fabrics like chiffon and organza that were layered to perfection. The prints were delightful, cast elegantly into swing skirts, soft blouses and day dresses that were only more dramatically highlighted by piles of antique Bakelite bangles that complemented the color palette of jade greens, canary yellows and lipstick reds. As for evening, it simply wowed. Art Deco embroideries were strategically placed throughout with much aplomb; when applied on a sweater or feminine tea dress they looked incredibly fresh and of-the-moment.
Feminine, thy name is Peter Som. And pretty. And fun. A slight deviation from his typical preppy, Som’s delightful bevy of prints were made that much more scatterbrained—but in a good way—thanks to no fuss, no muss hair and makeup. The collection was loose and less structured than in seasons past; the shifts were roomy while the long-sleeve knit dresses screamed comfort. As usual, floral prints, this time inspired by paintings of German artist David Schnell, provided the large doses of pop—the oversized roses were beautifully worked. For evening, billowy and loose were exemplified best via a series of long and bright chiffon gowns.
