Carolina Herrera celebrates her origins on the New York catwalk

The Carolina Herrera fashion house celebrated its origins this Thursday at New York Fashion Week with a collection that praised the glamor and irreverence of the eighties, the highlight of a day in which Moschino also dazzled.

The firm created in 1981 by the Venezuelan Carolina Herrera, whose creative reins is now held by the young designer Wes Gordon, offered the best example of a return to normality by holding its parade in an interior space in front of other face-to-face events that have opted for rooftops or parks.

The chosen place was Salon 94, an art gallery that occupied three floors of a stately mansion located in the Upper East Side neighborhood and through whose rooms the heels of an audience with a mask tapped and reduced to just over a hundred people, when usually the firm invites up to 700.

Gordon, who was inspired by one of Herrera’s first collections, put the dress as the star piece in a color palette from classic black and white to saturated shades of red, orange, blue or pink, using silhouettes with puffed sleeves. or ruffled skirts.

One of the stars was a short strapless dress that combined on a white background two of Herrera’s characteristic patterns, flowers and polka dots, and that played with volumes drawing layers on the body but leaving a delicate silk tail to the step of the model.

Her characteristic white shirt appeared with exaggerated shoulders and combined with black tailored pants, a sober proposal that contrasted with the party options, among which a long and tight red dress stood out from which cascades of tulle came out both on the sides and on the low.

Herrera, who is celebrating her four-decade anniversary in the world of fashion and who remains as an ambassador for her brand, was present at this first face-to-face catwalk after a year of pandemic and observed how Gordon received the applause, including that of the Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

MOSCHINO AND THE RETURN OF CELEBRITIES

Another of the outstanding presentations of this second day of New York Fashion Week was Moschino, which debuted taking the Bryant Park garden with its logo trimmed in hedges surrounded by flowers and transforming a rainy afternoon into a spring show.

The proposal of this Italian brand was full of flirtatious sets of miniskirt and jacket with seventies airs in pastel or citrus colors, with the models combed with carded updos, while as accessories the bags made with children’s toys drew attention.

Its creative director, the American Jeremy Scott, unfolded his fantasy with “patchwork” prints of children’s drawings in tight dresses like the one worn by supermodel Gigi Hadid, who closed the show with a bottle in hand in a nod to her recent motherhood.

That event brought together several celebrities in the front row, something that the Big Apple missed after two practically virtual editions, and among other faces the actress Megan Fox or the DJ Diplo were seen, although the greatest expectation in terms of faces for him Coated paper was expected at night.

After the night show by designer Laquan Smith, who has reserved the entire Empire State for his show – a landmark for the skyscraper of 90 years of history – and will put the finishing touch to this Thursday, New York Fashion Week will continue tomorrow with veterans like Michael Kors and Jason Wu.
