Donna and Carolina Take The Floor

Yesterday we saw collections from Carolina Herrera and Donna Karan being unveiled upon the fashion world. Donna Karan didn't really change her look from what we saw last season but altered it a way that this collection still feels fresh and relevant which is impressive as we're in a world where consistency causes boredom. The draping was such a highlight, it skimmed the body and created curves whilst flattering hemlines elongated the legs. I also loved the neautral colour pallete since many designers think that spting/summer means bright, bright, bright and I prefer paired down hued which this beautifully does.

The other collectio I have to highlight is Carolina Herrera. We all know how fantastic the evening wear is, it being the choice of many Oscar gowns however that is not what impressed me this season. The tailoring in this collection was just spectacular bringing a glamour element to otherwise casual short suits that wouldn't look out of place in an office as well as a cocktail party. Fabric choices really impressed me together with the accessories: belts in particular. Splashes of print added a fun, flirty dimension and of course the evening gowns completed and supported an all around fab collection.
