>> A few furry sleeves may be thrown into Carolina Herrera's Pre-Fall 2012 collection, alongside the blue-tinged poodle prints inspired by her dog, Gaspar. But a large part of the offering is also diaphanous. "What Pre-Fall means is Spring," Herrera explains, as these pieces will hit stores in May. "This collection is a continuation of that. Women buy these clothes to wear in summer."

>> A case of the Mondays didn't appear to drag anyone down backstage yesterday at Carolina Herrera, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Ohne Titel. We caught high-energy moments like Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn getting some best friend time in - in their Carolina Herrera gowns; Shena Moulton and Daphne Groenevold playing tug of war with their Marc by Marc Jacobs runway bags; and a staring contest going down backstage at Ohne Titel. Those snaps, plus more, in the slideshow.

>> Carolina Herrera's Spring 2012 collection, full of sparrow prints and linear motifs, “started with the Bauhaus,” she said, citing “the modernity of lines and the fluidity.” As Nicki Minaj and Anna Wintour sat next to each other front row, Herrera sent out fluid mint green dresses and architectural embroideries. The color palette - largely jade green, rusty red, and sunny yellow - came from the Bakelite bangles that were used to accessorize the collection, she said.
