Carolina Herrera’s Wes Gordon is in a practical mood for pre-fall. “It’s a season that’s really about embracing lifestyle and a complete wardrobe that speaks to both summer and fall,” he said at the brand’s Midtown headquarters. “So this collection is about the gardener—thinking about women like Bunny Mellon, Miranda Brooks, Grace Fuller who are landscape designers and gardeners, women who create beauty and also embody it.”
Herrera’s signature glamour was present throughout the collection, but grounded in pieces that could take a woman through her nine-to-five and five-to-nine whether out working in the soil—see: the cotton canvas jackets and trousers with floral embroidery, and kicky striped and plaid ensembles—or in more opulent settings that demand carefully draped gowns with delicate rosettes, or others with placement prints of 19th century hand-painted hydrangeas. Playful knits with crochet details, and, of course, classic white shirts rounded out an impeccably put-together lineup. “Easy, pretty clothes that make her feel beautiful,” Gordon added. It really is that simple.
