Resort.09 Review: Carolina Herrera

So, the 2008 resort season actually began quite a few weeks ago, and no worries we will catch up on the past shows soon enough, but for now we decided we might as well start with Carolina Herrera's crisp, clean and succinct collection.

The collection was filled with some great one-piece looks that were a combination of sheer, draped chiffon as well as more tailored, structured seams throughout. There was an exemplary white suit that was everything you would want from a resort suit. It was easy, yet still had enough structure to give a very feminine silhouette, and was made of a breathable lightweight material. It was dead on. The entire collection had contrasting looks, one of which was a strapless dress that had a crisp looking neckline with intricate cutout negative details and unexpected draping along the waistline. The last look of the resort show was a bit heavy and overwhelming for the resort season, but when the look is deconstructed, each garment in itself is quite strong. In particular the easy fitting, slim sleeved and crisp shouldered jacket. And, of course, there was her use of shirting from simple shirt-dresses to the striped full-length dress that reminded us of classic Herrera.
