Casualness was the focus for Wes Gorden’s debut collection as creative direction for Carolina Herrera, he put a modern twist on classic Herrera designs. He gave us plenty of tailoring, with snappy blazers and youthful A-line skirts. The classic Herrera skirt had a retouch and was giving a recolouring and was cropped above the waist, secured drawstring and side-buttoned for an ample show of leg. Gordan played with bold colours, stripes, polka dots and flowers. His jaunty dresses leaning towards the Spanish tradition with two way coloured polka dot design. Gorden successful adding a modern retouch to the brand.

ZIMMERMANN

INDIGITAL
Nicky Zimmermann gave us complete seventies vibes with a collection inspired by a old Australian soap “Number 96”, she brought together ideas of what she thought the cast of the show would wear today. This collection was infused with loads of paisleys on lace mini skirts and billowing dresses with lantern sleeves. Crop tops with low-rise pants and safari suits, the new Zimmermann featuring retro sporty elements, blue tracksuits and skirts worn with white studded lace shirts.

3.1 PHILLIP LIM 

INDIGITAL

This collection was highly designed but ultimately wearable, a collection inspired by the sixties giving us smooth and undulating curves and shapes from the era with Berber textures – fringe, woven and stripes coming together like a friendly merger. Silhouettes were short and neat and were cut perfectly. Woven striped vest with a fridge trim was worn over a sliver metallic bra top with a curvy sliver button and clean white trousers. A white long blazer with fringe edges inspired by Berber carpets over a black maxi dress with  a curved neckline. This silhouettes made perfectly for a minimalist vacation.
