Carolina Herrera Spring 2010 Bridal Collection

I had the privilege of attending a presentation of Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2010 Bridal Collection at Unveiled.  The gowns’ names definitely piqued my interest — most were named after classical painters.

“An homage to artists who have featured fashion prominently in their work.  Knife strokes evident in the creation of Van Gogh’s sunflowers are tactfully re-created in taffeta ruffles, Monet’s water lilies hand painted onto English tulle, and Mattisse’s paper cutouts are made into duchess satin leaves embroidered onto a tulle column.  Each silhouette is a tribute to a master painter who left behind an indelible influence on fashion.”
