Summary: Inspired by Edvard Munch's 1889 portrait of Hans Jaeger, Carolina Herrera sent out the expected gorgous garb for globetrotters. Yummy fox and muskrat, chic Jackie O shades by Base Curve for Carolina Herrera, and ballerina elegant slicked back buns made an impeccably chic statement. Gorgeous vintage-inspired fox and sable scarves with cashmere lining & handy pockets were tossed on in lieu of a jacket, making the fur more throwaway in an old-world-money-meets-new-world-caszh kind of way, and therefore that much more luxurious. Long black leather gloves added a snappy touch to chic sheath dresses, while the cropped 3/4 jacket with fox cuff, and blue plaid coat with bias-cut bottom half & silver fox trim were irresistable. And pairing a shiny silver lame skirt with a warm-toned, almost gold fur coat was unexpected - and completely striking.
