Carolina Herrera’s Wes Gordon was honored at the museum at FIT’s Couture Council Luncheon.
She wore a cranberry-colored frock with double-flounced sleeves as she addressed the room from a podium and toasted the 40th anniversary of Carolina Herrera. Of the label’s current designer, she spoke about how his “vibrant, bold, and dramatic [designs] are themselves celebrations, filled with exuberance and joy.” And yes, her sleeves were as merry to admire as they must have been to wear.
It was supermodel Shanina Shai who presented Gordon with his award, which is shaped like a spool of thread. She wore a black mini-dress that shimmered with oversized paillettes on top and poufed with a voluminous bow on the bottom. “Every time I’ve worn Carolina Herrera, I’ve felt confident, beautiful, and of course fabulous!” she told the room.
Gordon accepted the award with a grace befitting the designs he imagines each season. “I dedicate this award to you,” he said to Mrs. Herrera. “I thank you for this most incredible opportunity. I am just the caretaker of the magical house you built, and every day in every way, I hope to make you proud. And to my amazing husband Paul, you have been my rock.”
