Fashion Distraction :: Carolina Herrera Spring 2010

November 9th, 2009 by crystal

I love pretty much everything by Carolina Herrera and this collection is no exception. There’s just something about Carolina Herrera’s designs that are completely timeless, classic and sophisticated. As I was watching the show, I felt hard-pressed to categorize which ‘trends’ were coming down the runway. That’s because Carolina Herrera doesn’t design according to trends. Like a true artist, she follows inspiration and creates pieces that are uniquely hers.

For this collection, Herrera was inspired by the intricateness of Japanese baskets. Each piece looked completely tailor made for the model wearing it. The styles were sleek, sophisticated and stylish. Herrera managed to create a line that looked modern and youthful, but sophisticated and classic at the same time.

Key Trends from the Carolina Herrera Spring 2010 Collection

metallic fabrics
cinched waists
sweetheart necklines
mermaid skirts
1960s style full skirts
short-suits

What can we take away?

Again, we’re seeing sleek and sporty silhouettes mixed with feminine details. Herrera shows us how to make typically masculine shorts look feminine with cinched waists, strong shoulders and tailored suit tops.

Your thoughts?

I’ve told you how much a fan I am of this collection that is all sophistication.
What do you think?
