Best Looks From Carolina Herrera Spring SS/25
At New York Fashion Week, Wes Gordon presented his Carolina Herrera SS25 collection, offering a glimpse into a bygone era though House signatures plucked from the '80s archives. The show was held at Liberty Place and set against Isamu Noguchi’s Sunken Garden, allowing the colourful creations to take centre stage.
The collection reflected Gordon's sophisticated and confident approach to modern design while staying true to the spirit of the House. Polka dots, florals and electrifying yellows dominated the vibrant collection, which was partly inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe; the artist is renowned for her paintings of florals. Not only evident through prints, florals were integrated through oversized handmade silk flowers, adding a touch of romance.
A black one-shoulder top with a bold floral detail and a sheer embroidered skirt exemplified this romantic flair. Accessories echoed the theme, with models wearing chignons adorned with delicate flowers. The collection featured a sophisticated mix of eveningwear and tailored pieces. Elegant capri trousers paired with long blazers and intricate paisley embroidery made a striking statement, while high-waisted shorts and Carolina Herrera's signature white shirts offered a modern twist on classic tailoring. Eveningwear stood out with dramatic pieces like an '80s-inspired black-and-white polka-dot ballgown and a whimsical strapless pink gown designed to resemble a cascade of blossoms. The collection also included refined daywear, such as knit skirts with floral embroidery and draped jersey dresses in cheerful pinks. Classic houndstooth suits provided a tailored option for those seeking sophistication.
