Carolina Herrera NYFW fall 2019


During its almost 4 decades of business Carolina Herrera has gone through many iterations and interpretations of what the brand is about. The brand has come  a long way from “our lady of the sleeves” to a luncheon lady collection to various other ways of appealing to a younger clientele… more like to the daughters of the ladies who lunched!

However, for a while the brand cruised along with few blips while it remained and retained a certain amount of chic and soigné as well as a precision/edge that she was known for … that is until now! The new designer has tossed out the history of the heritage brand and turned it into a been there done that lookalike collection that has no resemblance whatsoever to Carolina Herrera at any stage of its life, the brand or person.

Who is paying attention here? I mean really from Zoran like tunics to parachute dresses to nightshirts... wtf has happened and wtf are they thinking. There is nothing here that can’t be found elsewhere and I’m sure at a fraction of the price. Most will accuse me of being hyper critical or old fashioned but  open your eyes and look at what this is …………… keep on moving cause there’s nothing to see here! Just some clothes which look rather sloppy and uncared for.
