Carolina Herrera gave off a very different aesthetic than de la Renta. With very boxy monochromatic tops paired with a patterned bottom or vice-versa, the vibe was more retro and modern.
Similar to de La Renta, we see the use of burnt orange in several of the pieces throughout the collection. Besides that, we also see several more bright eccentric colors such as fuchsias, yellows, and sky blue which seemed like a very 80’s vibe.
With a very modern line in front of us, it was interesting to see the contrast between the clothing and the runway. The runway was a very pale blue, however, what was more interesting was the rustic paintings littering the wall and the blackened beat up mirror at the entrance to the runway.
This did, however, bring the center of attention to the individual pieces of the collection. The neon colors and large modern patterns stood out against the aged runway, which could be one of the main purposes of this runway structures.
One thing that could have been changed about this show, was the final few pieces, their order in particular. They fit in much better with the clothing that was shown during the beginning, in terms of it being more business casual and monochromatic.
Overall, Carolina Herrera didn’t blow it out of the park the way that de la Renta did. It was a more tamed, and one-dimensional show, but the collection was nonetheless beautiful.
