Carolina Herrera’s Resort collection was all about the detail. The refined, yet ladylike appeal was complete with the use of feminine detailing on sophisticated and modern looks.

Impeccable and crisp tailoring creates structure and sleek refinement for daywear, highlighting the collection’s play on proportions and contrast with oversized and slim silhouettes in fabrics that range from denim to sequin embroidery. Taking couture techniques and reinterpreting them for today, shapes soften as they float into evening with multi layered pleated tulle and metallic dot files coupe and matching embroidery on t-length skirts and dresses.
The palette is strong and graphic with neutral tones transitioning into bold hues for evening including shell pink, poppy red, and marigold all evoking vibrancy for day to night. The collection is as feminine, elegant and sophisticated as you would expect from the House of Herrera.
