Carolina Herrera gets a little futuristic with cool cuts on her Fall collection with “wings”! Slim skirts have exaggerated pleats that make them look like wings jutting out. I love the bold statement while still flattering the curves. Necklines on gowns also have a modern twist to them with cuts that look like flower pedals standing straight up. Balloon sleeves are exaggerated in proportion, but sheer to reduce the massive volume. The palette and feel is still very much traditional Herrera but these updated touches are refreshing and exciting. Color blocking is unavoidable this season. Karlie came down the runway in a strapless liquid silk faille gown in striking turquoise and amethyst panels, again with the winged skirt – my favorite gown in the collection. And fur. Can’t get through Fall Herrera without talking about the fur. How about ultra wearable fur scarves? Insane!! She has your usual shawl-like fox but the infinity scarf in mink is the best thing I have ever seen!! It is loose and almost casual, something you can totally throw on with run-around clothes. Glamour hits the streets – I love it!!
