Born and raised in Venezuela, Carolina Herrera was exposed from early on to international culture and fashion. As she elegantly puts it: “My eye was accustomed to see beautiful things”.
In 1980, Carolina Herrera makes the best dressed list, and one year later, with the encouragement of legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, Carolina Herrera showed her first collection at the Metropolitan Club in New York. A few years later, in 1986, Carolina Herrera designs Caroline Kennedy’s wedding beautiful gown. And because the dress was ‘the talk of the country’, one year later the fashion designer introduced her first bridal collection.
I have a responsibility to the woman of today – to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.
