Carolina Herrera never disappoints, and the latest show at New York Fashion Week was no exception. Known for bold glamour, the luxury designer label brought the drama to NYFW with the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, inspired by a playful mix of polka dots and bold yellow—a signature combo for the house since the ‘80s.
Creative Director Wes Gordon drew from the house’s iconic past, combining nostalgia with what today’s bold woman would wear, making one thing crystal clear: polka dots are back, they’re bold, and they’re better than ever.
The collection gave us all the classic prints we love—think floral, plaid, and polka dots—but with that signature Herrera makeover. Polka dots, especially in black and white, felt fresh and anything but old-school.
A sweeping skirt decked out with bold florals met a tailored polka dot blouse with exaggerated puff sleeves.
Another moment featured a sharply tailored polka dot top matched with an asymmetrical floral wrap skirt—unexpected yet beautifully composed.
The runway also brought back capri pants, a trend that fashion influencers have been loving all year. Styled with sleek, embellished tops, these cropped trousers felt modern and chic—proof that, whether you like it or not, this ‘90s staple is having its big fashion comeback.
Carolina Herrera did them justice. Styled with sharp, tailored tops and statement floral details, these capris felt like a nod to the classics but with a sleek, contemporary edge.
