Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2023
"There's nothing shy about collecting," Wes Gordon said during a preview of her latest collection for Carolina Herrera, located in the Academy Mansion in uptown New York. "It's bright colors, big trains and kind of a continuous evolution of silhouettes that I've been working on for a few seasons."
Spring was described as a starting point, "to accept the things I really like - the beauty of classic silhouettes, explosive flowers, bold colors - and unashamedly and shamelessly embracing it with enthusiasm. This served as a natural transition to the "idea of beauty with a capital B" from before the fall
"I started to really think about the woman who dresses that way and then the idea of this diva personality. My mood board consisted of a million photos of Maria Callas, Jacqueline de Ribes and, of course, Ms. Herrera – the woman who is in the spotlight,” a- he said, adding imagery of Cher inspired by the party-ready stretch crepe jumpsuit with tiered bell bottom ruffles while colorful rose prints were taken from the arc's final scene. of Callas in "Tosca" by Giacomo Puccini. "It was this idea of the singular, confident, daring and fabulous woman."
Appropriately over the weekend, the "ultimate diva", Adele shone on stage in Las Vegas in a custom Herrera black silk taffeta draped asymmetrical dress with gold floral brooch.
During the pre-fall, Gordon's modern diva and the glamorous codes of the Herrera house continued to move forward in symbiosis. Case in point: the designer's pale pink corseted dress with a hand-draped heart-shaped bodice, or Ms. Herrera's signature white shirt, which was inspired by the collection's bold red faille number and given the dramatic treatment. in cropped silk-faille with a floor-to-ceiling train over high-waisted slim black pants.
"I don't think it's necessary to throw things - leopard, heart, the polka dots - there's nothing outdated, and the heart is a beautiful shape that the world needs in spades. It was a new way to interpret love and really celebrate the skills of our atelier,” he said of the collection’s leopard jacquard numbers and various heart-adorned looks.
When it comes to evening wear, Gordon has upped the ante on elegance with to a variety of flattering feminine silhouettes, which came in both maxi and mini; close-fitting or with voluminous proportions and trains, and with or without beads, flowers, crystal and chain embroidery and accessories.
But what does the modern day diva wear?
"It becomes an expression of artistic personality," Gordon said, adding rich textiles , a cinched waist and flared skirt silhouettes and the continued implementation of colorful and irreverent print combinations were key. For example, a rose-printed organza blouse with a contrasting pink cotton gabardine skirt and a cinched belt at the printed waist (which will also go well with the matching printed girly knits from the collection), or a high-waisted combined skirt with yellow chambray and a full denim skirt, paired with a navy blue knit cardigan.
From day to night, Gordon's key to success was pairing signature Herrera restraint with a feminine bold and shameless. Perfect for his lady in the spotlight, figuratively and figuratively.
"What is elegance with beauty? What is fabulous in 2023?In a world of 8 billion spooky headliners and uncertainty, dressing up should be an expression of your individuality, your personality, your optimism, your joy, your boldness and an opportunity to truly embrace the moment and celebrate who you are,” the creator said.
With a wardrobe like this, who wouldn't want to be a diva every day?
