Carolina Herrera is the epitome of class, from her own regal demeanor to her classically beautiful collections.
Fall ‘09 was no different in terms of gorgeous clothing from Herrera. While her pieces were wonderfully detailed, she opted to keep her models in youthful makeup (think flushed cheeks and sheer orange eye shadow). Where the likes of Lily Donaldson, Lakshmi Menon, Liu Wen, Tanya D, Olga Sherer, Toni Garrn, Natasha Poly and Kasia Struss lacked in bold makeup was made up in bold hair accessories, with bobby pins embellished with metallic flowers holding together low chignons.
Carolina Herrera wasn’t the only one adorning manes in one way or another.
Erin Fetherston perched crystal-studded rabbit hats on her models’ heads, while rows of black bobby pins made it on hair at Donna Karan. Temperley London also went with hats, this time very high in height, very English and very pom pom-ed. Continuing with the chapeau trend, Tracy Reese sent her girls out in an interesting dichotomy of knit beanies and lace veils covering the face.
Hats off to them all!
