  • Story Text: Luxury designers Carolina Herrera and Oscar De La Renta showed their Spring 2004 collections Designer Carolina Herrera's Spring 2004 collections are inspired by images of the French Riviera, mixing linear prints with soft fluid shapes.
    Colours included citron and burnt sienna which highlighted a primarily black and white theme. The designer blurred distinctions between day and evening dressing, obscured by a sense of ease and elegance. Herrera used plenty of chiffon, georgette and organza in her collection. Backstage before the show, the designer spoke of the woman she thought of while designing this collection.
    "I am designing for the modern woman, the young woman, the not so young woman. All of them can find something here and I believe they all want to look seductive, they all want to look chic and that's the kind of woman I design for."
    Sophisticated womenswear designer Oscar de la Renta stayed true to the style he is best known for, luxurious, classic lines with plenty of frills and ruffles.
    His fabrics for spring include silk, cotton, cashmere and leather. The designer was one of the few to indulge in bright splashes of colour, opening the show with sunflower yellow cotton full skirted dress.
    Other colours on de la Renta's palette for spring include turquoise, orange and pinks. As always the designer delivered on glamour, and sophistication for women with class, style and elegance.
    Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta are both part of New York's Fashion Week, taking place at Bryant Park till September the 19th.
