Every once in a while, Balmain-shoulder-to-Margiela-shoulder at Milan Fashion Week runway shows, we've felt that same operatic rush from the blowback of strutting waifs in sharply-cut Armani silks as a particularly well-etched Rheingold Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla. Which is why we were curious to hear Carolina Herrera's newly-commissioned classical-lite piece for her NYFW Fall 2013 RTW collection. Above, Tom Hodge's "Capriccio for Carolina", based on Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, bowed at Herrera's show today.
