New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Carolina Herrera

You'd never think to put Carolina Herrera, go-to designer for the ladies who lunch, in a corner with the flower power movement. But eat my words I will, because the lady is definitely feeling her florals - maybe not the psychedelic kind, but florals nonetheless.

The show began with a flower-emblazoned tank, and ended with a pretty pink strapless gown, awash with what else but big abstract flowers? In between came a shirtdess with poofy skirt and bow detailing, a maxi dress with polka dots and bias seams, and lots of cocktail-ready dresses, in reds, baby blues, white, and black.

I have to give it to Carolina, she does know her audience! Socialite wear extraordinaire, some of it is just not for me...
