Backstage at Carolina Herrera Spring 2016

We’re kind of suckers for juxtapositions: painfully beautiful femme-y clothing—think delicately pleated chiffon skirts and intricately embellished tops—paired with flats (because comfort). And that’s exactly what Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2016 show was all about; romantic silhouettes with a touch of casual modernity (guys, she somehow made sheer modest!). Amazing, right? And the hair? Well, it followed the same modus operandi; a cool departure from Herrera’s ubiquitous sleek and polish up-dos, which, we’ll admit, has always been a bit intimidating. But this season, it was the sort of hair we wished we could reenact every. single. day.
