“When we want to make someone feel especially glamorous in the pages of “Vogue”,we turn to Carolina Herrera, who personifies the power and the positivity of dressed-up American style. She was, and remains, the very idea of chic for so many women.”–Anna Wintour, Vogue
When Carolina Herrera says she’s going to do something, watch out. She’s a blonde bombshell and her attention to perfect detailing and exquisite fitting of her collections is something remarkable. Since her first collection, Mrs Herrera has distinguished herself in the global fashion scene with a style that exudes luxury, femininity, and impeccable taste.
In the legendary ruthless fashion world, very few designers manage to make it to the top and even fewer manage to stay with their own name on the door. Mrs Herrera has stayed true to who she is, proving that trends come and go but her style remains.
Carolina Herrera catapulted to success in the exuberant 1980s, with no formal design training and.thirty-five years later, her brand is one of the few American fashion houses that has grown into a thriving global empire. The socialite turned fashion designer was encouraged by friend and admirer, Diana Vreeland to open her fashion house in 1981.
She certainly did a good job as her collections are constantly in the favourite list of VIPs from all over the world–First Ladies, celebrities, international royalty, and her own faithful clientele who loves refined irreverence, timelessness, and modern elegance.
Carolina Herrera: 35 Years of Fashion is a six-pound auto-biography published by Rizzoli commemorating images and events ranging of the fashion designer’s fashion journey from Mrs. Herrera’s first runway show in the spring of 1981 to glossy editorials from 2015. The book highlights Mrs Herrera’s work throughout her career, illustrating distinctive elements and caliber of her designs.
