Carolina Herrera, is a brand designed by designer Wes Gordon. During the show many were wondering if this is the beginning of a more minimal brand, but Gordon replied by saying, “I think she is still pretty maximal,” which is definitely displayed in the bold designs. This fall 2020 collection is called “the grand gesture”, he explained his vision by saying “when I was sketching or draping, I tried to identify the essence of what made the piece special, and then I went all in. It could be a sleeve shape, embroidery, or color, but it’s quite purified.”
Above are some of my favorite looks from the show. Gordonwas a big player in the shade and design of the clothing. He chose some very bold blues, pinks, and mustard yellows, but also plain black, white, and darkers forest green for the colors of his garments. A lot of the shapes of his designs were capes, and asymmetrical. A lot of the girls were wearing gold or black simple flats. He added some tassel belts as accessories, some ruffles and some of the girls even wore a mesh type veil over their face. All of the girls wore their hair with a middle part, which is a trend that I saw all throughout the shows. His designs were question about being minimal because a lot of them were one color garments, although he did have some floral designs. But the designs them-self were very maximal.
I did very much like this collection, while it is a bit different than the designers I tend to like, he did a great job with the designs and I can see a lot of these trends lasting a while.
