***REBLOG***
INFORMED by the Kinetic Art movement and Venezuelan artists Carlos Cruz-Diez and Jesus Rafael Soto, Carolina Herrera's spring collection was energetically spiked with graphic pops.
Green striped organza gowns, swirling Op Art printed maxi dresses and other hypnotic displays enlivened the proceedings. Veiling and layering was also a theme here but these sheer organza overlays were so feather-light, gently wafting, it didn't ever look too tricksy. The designer even extended the idea to the sweetest bandeau bikini we've seen yet. Just don't swim in it.
Herrera's collection isn't necessarily one that ticks off the emerging trends - her uptown clientele are more concerned with simply finding a pretty look for the social season's round of luncheons and benefit galas, and make no mistake, they will find many prize contenders here - but there was plenty that was on message: cotton shirts with organza panels, monochrome and pleats, to name a few.
As for the gowns that closed the show - one with a veiled feathered crop top, and another like an upscale shirt dress rendered in organza which buttoned all the way up and ballooned out – they were the clear winners.
