Carolina Herrera Resort 2027 Channels Georgia O'Keeffe
Wes Gordon's Resort 2027 collection for Carolina Herrera gives a gentle tribute to Georgia O'Keeffe, coinciding with the documentary 'Georgia O'Keeffe: The Brightness of Light' set to release on AppleTV and YouTube. This collection features floral patterns inspired by wildflowers and irises, subtly reflecting O'Keeffe's aesthetic without copying her directly. The use of metal details echoes the Alexander Calder pin O'Keeffe loved, and the indigo tweed pays homage to her interest in Japanese fashion. Launching this August in Miami's Design District, standout items include an embroidered jacket with skinny jeans, a knotted white cotton shirt, and a black skirt inspired by a Bruce Weber image of O'Keeffe. There are also a strapless iris-print dress and a sunset-hued tulle gown for partygoers. In his previous fall show, Gordon highlighted female artists like Amy Sherald and Ming Smith.
