Wes Gordon has been the creative force behind Carolina Herrera since 2018. Since then, the designer has gone from strength to strength as the New York-based label’s creative director. On Monday, the penultimate day of New York Fashion Week, Gordon presented his Carolina Herrera Fall 2025 collection from the Solow Building in Central Park. The American designer sought inspiration from his all-time favorite films – “Being There” starring Peter Sellers from 1979. Models strode around a beautifully minimalist set of living flowers, as names like Dove Cameron and Nicole Scherzinger sat perched front row. Girls-of-the-moment (including Lulu Tenney and Devyn Garcia) emerged from backstage adorned in Gordon’s sublime lineup of chic floral appliqués, shimmering textures, billowing silhouettes, and bright colors.

“Beautiful, lovely collection. The fashion show could be improved, though. The industrial setting reminded of a Balenciaga garage, the poppies on the floor reminded of Kenzo, and the music was uneventful. Still, one of the highlights of NYFW.” [Monsieur Cristobal]

“This is quite lovely for a modest and conservative brand like CH. I think with a better color palette, it would make a stronger statement like their Mexico resort collection, but Wes Gordon has been doing a good job keeping this brand afloat.” [JohannesL]

“A good, solid collection. He has really found his footing at the Carolina Herrera. He has found a balance of youthfulness and maturity. It is such a personal brand and he has managed to respect Carolina’s legacy in a tasteful way. I hope he manages to get even stronger and stay at the house for a long and fruitful time.” [reese06]

“A cut above the rest. Another fine example of the wonders Wes Gordon continues to do as Carolina Herrera creative director. He’s brought new life into the brand, and still remains true to its heritage. A flawless collection from opening to closing look, and a total highlight of mine from New York Fashion Week!” [vogue28]
