Exactly two years ago, the biggest runway story was the fact that the collections we're awash with denim<\/strong> for SS15. Fast forward 24 months and designers may have calmed down a bit when it comes to high-end denim but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s any less important as a trend fabric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n In fact, it\u2019s so important that Carolina Herrera\u2019s 35th anniversary<\/strong> show yesterday saw her sending out red carpet denim<\/strong> for a show opener that really got social media buzzing.<\/p>\n The dress, an elaborate strapless confection with a hi-lo hem, full skirt and (of course) topstitched seams, was followed by a mini series of denim pieces<\/strong> including a beautiful simple dresses<\/strong> with twisted neckline, a slightly-less-successful denim biker<\/strong> with Vetements-width shoulders and a tie detail top teamed with a brocade evening skirt.<\/p>\n It set the seal on a New York Fashion Week that has so far been very denim friendly<\/strong>. And while gala gowns in denim aren\u2019t likely to be on your local high street rails any time soon, perhaps it\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0time to revisit the idea of denim as an evening fabric<\/strong>?<\/p>\n
