  • Story Text: Venezuelan-born designer Carolina Herrera kicked off New York's Fashion Week Monday (November 3) showing her Spring Collection to a receptive audience including Ivana Trump, the Czech-born former model and ex-wife of the real estate financier Donald Trump.

    Herrera's show stressed diversity, mixing masculine and feminine, romantic and practical, extravagance and simplicity.

    Colours and fabrics ranged from grey wool and soft navy blue denim to bright fuschia and green silks, silver and gold gunmetal embroidery and lilac and blue tops over organdy or silk faille ballroom skirts.

    In an interview with Reuters Television, Herrera emphasized this diversity of styles, saying she aimed to be both "romantic" and "practical." Fashion Week continues at its new location in the Chelsea section of Manhattan through Friday (November 7).
