Summer must-see: “Refined Irreverence” presented as a dual exhibit by SCAD FASH: Museum of Fashion + Film and the SCAD Museum of Art, celebrates 35 years of Carolina Herrera’s devotion to effortless elegance. From vintage runway pieces of her debut 1981 collection to today’s red carpet gowns worn by her celebrity clientele, the impressive 99 garment display makes it clear that Herrera is the true star. In an era of loud and fast fashion, Herrera is a force of refinement‒ sophistication without stuffiness and glamour without grandeur‒ the perfect woman crush for any day.
