WITH ITS BOLD COLORS AND PLUNGING NECKLINE, THIS LAYERED DESIGN IS SUMMER CHIC AT ITS FINEST

BY GENA ANSELL

Undeniably feminine and supremely sophisticated, this evening gown is quintessential Carolina Herrera an eponymous brand that has become synonymous with refined yet sexy design. Throughout her career, the Venezuela born Herrera, 79, has collected a dozen of fashion’s highest accolades, as well as a few star studded clients (including three First Ladies). After receiving early encouragement from friend and Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, she launched her line in 1980, with a conviction to make women look their most glamorous, whatever the occasion.

This is just the perfect attire for a midsummer’s soiree. While we love the bold colors and plunging neckline, it’s the contrast of the fitted bodice and full ball skirt that takes it over the top. It will play a leading role in your July wardrobe and is exactly what we’ve come to expect from one of the style pantheon’s brightest names.
