On a roll from last September’s amazing bird prints and youth infusion, Carolina Herrera launched her Fall Winter 2012 collection with a bang. The trendy chic combo of indigo and black looked fresh and layered with cool additions such as sheared lamb, ostrich feathers and crystal embellishments making the first few runs Gossip Girl ready (stylists be prepared).

Portrait collar coats and huge ball gowns pleased her more mature customer. Bolero jackets and high-waisted skirts with loop belts in monochromatic colors were ageless. Prints were modern and abstract. All I kept thinking was “fresh young Washington DC” as this collection expanded beyond the Upper East Side and the Hollywood Red Carpet. Beautifully done.
