Fall Collection Preview: Carolina Herrera
Next up on the fall previews is Carolina Herrera. Her collection always exudes classic elegance and grace, and this season was no exception. I thought this was one of her best collections ever, as she incorporated details such as detachable skirts and hand painted fabrics. My favorite pieces from the collection are these two:
I love this dress because it is so classic and yet so different at the same time. I think it is brilliant the way she interchanges taffeta and organza to give a light-as-air striped effect. This would be great on a petite bride as it would elongate her. And the strapless fan bodice is accented with a ribbon and detail that give it just the right finishing touch. Just beautiful!
This dress was an instant favorite with me because of the unusual pattern in the taffeta. The blush and ivory pattern gives the impression of a very subtle leopard print which is striking. And the beading and embroidery on this dress is drop-dead gorgeous in a delicate flower pattern.
Both of these dresses, and the rest of the collection, are absolutely stunning, and unbelievably original!!!
Best,
Julie
