Carolina Herrera Spring/Summer 2013 Collection T he sophisticated allure of 1960s style is the inspiration behind the CH Carolina Herrera collection for this Spring and Summer. Grace Kelly, Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn, Jean Seberg, Jane Birkin and Catherine Deneuve are all modern style icons with distinct but equally sublime styles. CH Carolina Herrera’s latest collectionmirrors the fashion statements of the last century’s most renowned female faces. The collection reveals changes in form, coupled with generous volumes and imaginative colors and prints – all of which show traces of these fashion icons who remain firmly fixed in our visual memory. The three forms that define the collection are the A-line, found in voluminous skirts and cocktail dresses; the pencil silhouette for casual wear; and the square line, which offers more volume both in sports dresses and outer garments, providing the sense of freshness and rebelliousness that enlivens the collection. The base fabrics are cottons, linens and silks – all of which appear in a wide range of colors, from emerald green and navy blue, to fuchsia to orange. Delicate and imaginative prints break the harmony to create fun and original contrasts, transforming the collection into an essential Summer masterpiece.
