Carolina Herrera always puts on a good show, and this year was no different. For Spring 2009, Herrera included a color pallet of black and white interjected with bright, bold colors. There were lots of reds, yellows, teal faille trimmed in tweed, and a marigold photo print.Instead of embellishments, Herrera opted for lots of ruffles this year with a cocktail hour silhouettes. There were short Watteau-back jackets in duchesse satin, paired with very slim pants that were cropped several inches above the ankle. You couldn't help but notice the amount of dresses that strutted down the runway. They ranged from mille-feuille chiffon party frocks and corseted silk colque to sleek, glossy black raffia.
The standout outfit was a beaded, liquid jersey column in white with a black gabardine jacket slung over the shoulders.
