At the end of New York Fashion Week, after six days of nonstop fashion—admiring every garment, reporting on them, and thinking only about clothes—there comes that inevitable moment when the dazzling illusion finally dissolves into reality.

At Carolina Herrera, creative director Wes Gordon created an artful environment to show his fall 2025 collection. Individual flowers emerged from the floor, nestled in what looked like piles of debris. The effect was somewhat haunting, but still chic against the gowns parading down the runway.

Spotting a trench coat during Fashion Week is a given, considering February’s damp and windy climate, but a funnel-neck silhouette is a feminine iteration of the classic. Wear yours as a dress, and add a minimalist bag, lined tights for warmth, and a pair of pumps.
