(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) As New York Fashion Week passed the midway point Monday combined spectacle celebrity and style.Carolina Herrera a doyenne of the design world showed a collection made new with digital prints and foam embellishments. And Tommy Hilfiger showcased classic rock on the runway.
CAROLINA HERRERA
Coming up with something fresh to please customers while remaining loyal to her house this time around at New York Fashion Week had Carolina Herrera turning to digital prints and foam geometric embellishments in colours fit for spring: reds in deep shades and bright neon soft yellow and neutrals in a light mushroom tan.
This season she endeavoured to decode flowers in different ways. She pixellated a large red one with leaves in foam pieces sewn to the long full gown of one of her final looks pairing it with a stiff bright white bodice.
Elsewhere she used splashes of beading. One in deep red covered the front of a loose skirt above the knee with more of the same beading at the collar of a matching boxy shortsleeved top.
The technical fabrics allowed her to mold some collars high off the neck including a sporty knit open jacket in neon orange paired with a roomy white jersey top and loose trousers.
TOMMY HILFIGER
In his runway show Tommy Hilfiger celebrated some of his very favourite musicians — the Beatles the Rolling Stones Jimi Hendrix The Who The Doors. Many models wore whimsical military-style garments resembling those colourful Sgt. Pepper jackets that the Beatles wore. Elements of those band suits popped up everywhere: in brocade gold trim vintage buttons and peacoats.
And who could have missed the daughter of a rock icon — model Georgia May Jagger offspring of Mick — not only opening the show in a burgundy sateen cape but reappearing later in a multicoloured sequin mini-dress just as her father’s voice crooned Sympathy for the Devil.

You know that sullen model stare
Diane von Furstenberg was having none of it at her New York Fashion Week show on Sunday in which she channelled the theme of the sunny French Riviera in the 1950s. Many of her models smiled as they sauntered down the runway in little gingham numbers or other cheery prints that succeeded in being both sweet and sexy.
Those models included none other than supermodel Naomi Campbell who closed the show in a short multicolored chiffon “boudoir dress” delighting attendees like Whoopi Goldberg. Kendall Jenner the model and half-sister of Kim Kardashian also walked the runway.
Before the show von Furstenberg said she was thinking not just of the Riviera sun but of French actress and sex symbol Brigitte Bardot and also simply of “happiness” when she designed her collection for spring 2015.
