Carolina Herrera Fall 2010 Collection

Carolina Herrera has just presented her Fall 2010 collection at the New York Fashion Week. She is known as “luxury” designer, and this collection fully confirms it. Fall 2010 collection is full of elegance and luxury. It is worthy of a princess.

Carolina Herrera puffed up the volume on the arms of dresses. There was a fullness to high-waisted fluid trousers with white blouses or jackets and coats — the former in crocodile with matching wool sleeves and the latter in camel double-faced cashmere and sable. These ladylike dresses require the kind of bank balance and sophisticated good taste and it takes a few years to attain.

Herrera’s evening dresses will be no less pricey, but they are able to find a wider audience. Ranging from an understated strapless black faille column to an embroidered tulle confection with a pouf below the knees, they look destined for heavy rotation on the social circuit. A silk moiré number with a chic organza bolero, in particular, will have Herrera’s gals fighting for first dibs. The disconnect between day and night was a bit jarring, but the collection nonetheless felt more like familiar Herrera territory than her recent efforts, and was the better for it.

While not all of the collection is wearable by the ordinary woman, it is clearly not designed for the ordinary woman. It is designed for a woman of discriminating tastes, who is dedicated to wearing the very finest materials and possesses a healthy pocket book.
