The latest presentations kick off on April 15 in New York. While designers keep their collections under lock and key until moments before the models hit the runway, some of the industry's top names gave us a glimpse at what they have planned for this season. They shared a sketch or a piece of their mood board, along with the inspiration behind what we'll see at their runway shows. Here, a sneak peek from Carolina Herrera, Monique Lhuillier, Jenny Packham, and more.
