This season, Wes Gordon took to Mrs. Herrera’s creations at the start of her label in the early 1980s, where he was particularly taken with voluminous and sculptural silhouettes for the Carolina Herrera Resort 2021 collection.

Gordon incorporated the exuberant shape into new pieces, including a pair of dresses, one short and one long, in a fluid allover silver micro-paillette. The lively paper taffeta bows of a pastel party dress and a black jumpsuit likewise felt true to the Herrera heritage.

At Carolina Herrera, Wes Gordon was inspired by dreamers. “The world is serious enough; fashion should let our dreams soar and bring us joy,” he said.

Designing from home, he put together a tight collection in bright shades of “grapefruit” and “paprika” layered together on joyous prints or tulle confections. There may not be any red carpets or galas anytime soon, but the sequined numbers — the result of many efforts to capture the shine of a perfect diamond — are begging to be worn by some starlet under the flashing lights of the paparazzi.
