Carolina Herrera; the “it” girl before “it” girls were it. Mrs.Herrera has made her mark in the fashion world and it is a prominent one. Although there’s nothing whimsical nor flowing about her work, the overpowering femininity of the pieces leaves one with the same “oh la la” effect that has us still swooning decades later. “My eye was accustomed to seeing pretty things” says Herrera, having been introduced into the fashion world early on in her life when her grandmother would take her to fashion shows and buy her pieces. Now an established fashion designer and most well-known for dressing first ladies such as Jackie O and Michelle Obama or her work making frequent appearances in the fashion-bible of Vogue, Herrera is not soon to be forgotten. Happy 76th Mrs. Herrera, you are as timeless as your work.
