Colorful and exuberant dresses: Carolina Herrera rewrites the rules of the evening dress at NYFW 2022

The evening dress is once again the protagonist in sparkling nuances on the catwalk of the Carolina Herrera fashion show.

Of this New York Fashion Week 2022 , which has now come to an end, we have certainly learned a lesson about color that we will not easily forget: how strongly it can be connected to our mood but also to the times that run. The American catwalk with the autumn-winter 2022-2023 collection gave us a sweet taste of the many colors with which we will be able to enrich our wardrobe, and among the proposals, the very lively evening dresses by Carolina Herrera stand out.

Carolina Herrera, autumn / winter 2022-2023 is an explosion of colors and the dress is the protagonist

Loved for her elegantly eccentric touch by royal ladies like Kate Middleton or Letizia Ortiz, Carolina Herrera tells and imagines a winter full of joy, a celebrated moment that also revolutionizes the concept of the dress, especially the evening one.

The fall / winter 2022-2023 collection rediscovers the beauty of the dress, playing with its shapes as well as with its decorative possibilities , transforming itself into an undisputed protagonist. Every minimal trend, decidedly more prevalent this year especially when we talk about night dresses , is set aside to rediscover the beauty of voluminous dresses with a princely, refined and sophisticated allure.

The inspiration of the creative director Wes Gordon was precisely strength, confidence, a bold woman ready to conquer the world with linear dresses that marry the surprise effect: a huge sleeve or an unexpected contrasting color, a mix and match now written in the DNA of American fashion but revisited in an elegant key. The bustier is also the protagonist, which becomes an essential part of a mini dress or alone.

Bright nuances and fluffy fabrics: the vademecum of next winter’s evening dress

Carolina Herrera makes the color palette a protagonist of the collection, to the point that on the Instagram profile the images of the show are preceded by images of colorful flowers, the nuances of which we find on the dresses: Crushed Berries, Anemone Blue, Fire Opal, Deep Peony, Evening Primrose Yellow and Dahlia.

Also in the Herrera collection the long skirt is confirmed as the consolidated trend of next season, as well as the transparency details . Already spotted at the latest Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week, the shell-neck bustier promises to be a must have already this spring / summer season upon us.

The evening dress is therefore completely revised and corrected, rediscovering its ancient glories in a contemporary version: black and white is the most classic proposal, but it is the colored mixes that see fuchsia, pink and red mix together in a gradual and extremely delicate, or turn towards the color block that returns to dominate the scene.
