New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Carolina Herrera

Today was a good day for a ride in the countryside . . . for Carolina Herrera. While Ralph Lauren has equestrian chic down pat, Herrera is giving him a run for his money.

Colors were borrowed from a fall landscape: oatmeal brown, China blue, lemon drop yellow and russet red. Masculine tweeds are layered over chiffon print shirts, vests and riding pants. There wasn't much in the evening category; Herrera opted to create dramatic daywear instead. And succeed she did. Opulent materials like fur and feather were omnipresent — the long feathers that stemmed from the dramatic fedoras had a life all their own. Puffy eyed models (late night girls?) also donned plaids, brocade and corduroy.


Cape? Check. Riding gloves? Check. Whip? Check!

    Those colors remind me of a bad 1970s living room. No thank you.

    I normally love Carolina Herrera, but I don't like this collection very much. Some dresses are OK though.

    I am kind of taken aback by this collection. On one hand it's great that she went with a darker, moodier look, but I am still in love with the Spring Herrera collection that I don't want another to come.

    I don't love the whole collection, but I like some of the pieces - I like the ensamble above - love the luxurious coat lining! - and the blue dress in the next photo. The boots are also very nice.
