“Be so careful with that, Wes!” Karlie Kloss called to Carolina Herrera designer Wes Gordon on Monday night.
Gordon wielded a pair of enormous scissors, which he’d just used to cut a red ribbon outside the Carolina Herrera flagship on Madison Avenue, marking its official reopening. Now, he and Herrera herself were taking photos and the blade in question was in all too precarious a position for Kloss. “We should put the scissors down,” she said, laughing.
A crowd of Herrera supporters including Alexandra Daddario, Linda Cardellini, Valentina and Romee Strijd hung out at the store drinking Champagne before heading a couple doors down to Three Guys Restaurant. The Upper East Side club sandwich institution is reportedly Carolina and Reinaldo Herrera’s favorite restaurant, and Gordon worked with event planner Fiona Leahy to transform it into the venue for that night’s party, Carolina’s Diner. The walls were covered with red shiny tassels, and servers wearing paper hats distributed spicy margaritas out of Bunn coffee decanters.
Gordon was able to take a deep breath and relax after his big day — showing the collection that morning, then celebrating the reopening of the store. He said Herrera’s attendance at the presentation — she goes each season
