When you think of classic Hollywood style, you can’t help but to think of Fashion Icon, Carolina Herrera. With over 30 years in the luxury fashion business, Herrera is best known for her “chic style.”
She likes the idea of experimentation, and is constantly testing how a piece fits and moves as decisions are being made about draping and construction. Carolina grew up in the Fifties and Sixties in Caracas, Venezuela, and has a strong appreciation for the past which is reflective in all of her collections.
Herrera’s own personal style signature usually incorporates a white collared button down blouse (usually with the sleeves rolled up to the three quarter mark) and a skirt. When you think of Carolina Herrera, you can’t help but to instantaneously visualize this particular look first and foremost. Herrera is undoubtedly a style icon and living fashion design legend. She’s even dressed the First Ladies of the United States from Jacqueline Onassis to Michelle Obama. Although she’s no stranger to the world of politics with her father, Guillermo Pacanins, being the former Governor of Caracas, Venezuela.
Carolina Herrara has mastered the art of capturing a woman’s essence in her designs with a practical touch. She creates timeless garments for the modern woman that wants to look elegant yet classy. Her collections are timeless and can be found at luxury shops across the globe. I had the pleasure of meeting Carolina Herrera while she was visiting at Neiman Marcus in Palm Beach, Florida. The designer discussed her Spring/Summer 2015 Collection, educated buyers, and even styled guests during her intimate appearance. Herrera’s newest collection is filled with Asian influences, modern floral photo prints, irregular geometric pieces for a shattered effect, and neoprene techno fabrics.
The Herrera fashion empire includes luxury ready-to-wear, bridal, eye wear, handbags and fragrances of which earn over a billion dollars a year. At the age of 76, the Venezuelan-American fashion designer continues to work hard and oversee the companies many collections and international brand expansion.
