HERRERA'S SPANISH SPIN

Of course I love fashion!! And spring is my favorite season. If I had been a woman with unlimited money...I'd be bedecked in all Carolina Herrera this spring and summer! This season's offerings of wears that drew me in was indeed that of Carolina Herrera, a stunning woman herself. The house fashion and design now over saw by the talented Wes Gordon, was presented in Madrid's historic Plaza Mayor, celebrating the city's vibrant energy. The collection features high glam couture to more pieces of ready to wear all in a bold palette, including saffron, yellow, signature Carolina red, white, and violeta lilac. alongside floral embroidery, jacquard, and dramatic silhouettes and poufs! The embroidery was exquisite. The colors sang. The point of view never wavered. The show started with a bang of a big gown. Wes Gordon proved that Herrera doesn't need to shout to command attention- just the right balance of restraint, seduction and silk. This is making me want a few pieces and head off to Spain with our dear Jon.

What a showing!

    1. I don't know if she did this year or not but I know in the past for many Hollywood Events I've seen a lot of Carolina Herrera being worn.

    1. And if I can add Wes Gordon is not bad on the eyes either.

  3. I'd take Dior's 1950s designs any day of the week, although the colours are interesting.

    1. I just love the vibrancy of this show. If there's a time we need color it's now. I'm so tired everybody wearing white gray and khaki.

    2. It's people's homes where everything is grey or white that depress me.

  5. Beautiful and elegant and FEMININE! One of the last real REMAINING designers that can turn women into goddesses with grace. I loved the maze of runway....numerous chances to catch your favorites. Love the color of this collection too. I have several pieces of Herrera....and adore them. Granted they broke the bank.

  6. Not the post I was expecting from you on First of May, First of May …. but enjoyed the show. The model at 15:19 had me ROFLMAO because her walk kinda reminded me of Discord’s corrected walk after being criticized by Ru and Michelle. And just for the record, I liked Discord’s original walk.

    1. I agree. Discords been around for quite a while and I've seen that walk. It's her signature. She would probably I suspect make a great runway model. Oh and just you wait..

  7. Always grateful to watch when I can't see in person. And this was spectacular. It was stunning from the color and silhouettes to the amazing Maze of walks, cool to see all the models out at once. Every detail is just beautiful in this.

    ¡ Fabuloso !
    Aujourd’hui Carolina Herrera apporte couleur et grâce à la haute couture.
    Cette vidéo de mode me rappelle les vidéos de mode Parisienne des années 1965 à 1975. La Plaza Mayor de Madrid offre le cadre idéal, Madrid est une capitale de la mode à part entière.
    ¡ Viva Carolina ! :) 🇪🇸
