"I feel pretty, Oh so pretty". Those lyrics from the musical West Side Story could accurately describe the emotions that may possess you when you don one of Carolina Herrera's lovely confections. Her collection was the height of modernity and chic while still recalling the level of sophistication she has always been respected for. But this time around she vacated her comfort zone for a startling twist on the Japanese themed woven basket look that was heavily displayed in almost every look on the runway. Her use of particular fabrics from raffia to open weaves seemed to reveal the texturized complexity of the woven "Japanese basket look" and only Herrera with her unique ability of interpretation could make such a "unique" statement work so elegantly. But she did go back to the standards with some of her looks hindering on the more softer side with moveable and flowy dresses with just a hint of the evening's primary motif. The colors were coppery, satiny, bright and lucid. And she proved once again why she is still the Queen of Chic.
