Pick of the Day: February 4, 2012

Carolina Herrera Resort 2012 Collection

I promised I would return to this collection periodically as I conducted more research! I wasn't exaggerating when I said that there is literally a piece for every decade of the twentieth century among its pieces. This particular, shimmering number reminded me of the flowing form and glowing opulence of the 1930's. The draping skirt and folds recalled the popular bias cut of the era, and the use of what appears to be almost metallic embroidery or fabric reflects the air of glamour that was present in the evening dresses of the era. I can almost imagine the iconic Ginger Rogers in this sparkling number. The epitome of elegance.
