C- Carolina Herrera


Spring RTW 2009

The collection's starting point was the intricate forms woven in Japanese baskets.
A rarefied inspiration, to be sure, and one that meant there was plenty of surface interest to take in on the clothes, from an intriguing vest-jacket woven in gray linen jacquard to a strapless white dress embroidered with tiny wooden tiles.
I loved it as it walked the line between youth and sophistication.
