Halfway through the week and we continue our 2013 bridal collection previews with the doyenne of New York fashion, Carolina Herrera.
Carolina Herrera wedding dresses are always ahead of the trends, often offering new and innovative approaches to shape and structure, and the 2013 Carolina Herrera bridal collection is no different, every design is distinctive and unique, and it even includes her signature bridal trouser suit...
Carolina Herrera described her vision and inspiration for the 2013 bridal collection thus "I had just seen the Cecil Beaton exhibit in London and was so taken with it that I wanted to design a collection based on the beauty he portrayed–the blacks, the whites, the fantasy of it all."
Well this look is pure Cecil Beaton...
Loving the navy lace waistband on this all-lace gown - a departure for the lacy lovelies we've been seeing in all the shows.
Simple chic, and a perfect choice for a classic Carolina Herrera bride...
As promised, Carolina Herrera 2013 pushes the boat out, adding more 80s styling to the start she made with her last collection.
While innovative, the Carolina Herrera 2013 bridal collection does remain true to Carolina's classic New York society look, these slim silhouettes would grace any aisle and ballroom with panache.
And finally, the iconic bridal trouser suit - one for the non-bridey bride or maybe an alternative choice for Angelina Jolie's wedding dress?
