In an unexpected yet exciting collaboration Carolina Herrera has partnered with FRAME for its first ever limited edition capsule collection. The collection, which debuted at the Carolina Herrera Resort 2024 runway show in Mexico City on November 14th, fuses Carolina Herrera’s classic elegance with FRAME’s expertise for denim, creating a fresh, modern take on tailored denim pieces that are both stylish and versatile.    

The collaboration between the two brands was born out of friendship and shared creative vision between FRAME’s Co-Founder and Creative Director Erik Torstensson and Carolina Herrera’s Creative Director Wes Gordon. This now dynamic duo began due to close living proximity with Torstensson and Gordon being neighbors on Madison Avenue. The pair had long admired each other’s work and wanted to create something that would marry the worlds of high fashion and everyday wear. The idea behind the collection was “What does the Carolina Herrera client wear when she’s not in a gown?”

Drawing inspiration from this question, the two designers set out to create a capsule collection that combined the casual, everyday appeal of denim with the sophisticated, feminine spirit of Carolina Herrera. With FRAME’s reputation for crafting exceptional denim and Herrera’s refined aesthetic, the collaboration was the perfect opportunity to explore how the two brands could unite their talents. 

Torstensson, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “Wes is an immensely talented designer and a close friend. It was such an honor to collaborate with him; his vision was so clear from the onset, and he has deftly steered the FRAME aesthetic into a new territory of proportion and saturation of color palette.” Gordon, echoed these sentiments, saying, “FRAME is my favorite denim brand. I love Erik and what he has built, and I adore that this collaboration came together organically from friendship, built around the needs of our clients and what they want to wear today.”

The result of this collaboration is a capsule collection that reinterprets classic denim styles with an elevated approach. Five key pieces, each a fresh take on the timeless fabric, The Taper Jeans, The Tailored Denim Jacket, The Denim Ball Skirt, The Corset Mini Skirt and The Corset Midi Skirt. Each piece is offered in a range of vibrant hues, drawing from Carolina Herrera’s famous color palette, including Herrera Red, Marigold, Celeste, Currant Cranberry, and White. These bold colors provide a refreshing contrast to the usual denim blues and inject an air of sophistication into the capsule.

The collaboration not only brings new dimensions to denim but also celebrates the everyday glamour that is at the core of the Carolina Herrera brand. The pieces are designed for women who appreciate both comfort and style, offering the perfect combination of denim’s laid-back appeal with Herrera’s polished sophistication.

The collection is now available for purchase at Carolina Herrera and FRAME retail locations, as well as through notable retailers NET-A-PORTER, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, and Leigh’s.
