“I have a responsibility to the woman of today – to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.” — Carolina Herrera Establishing a globally recognized style, Carolina Herrera has resided at the helm of her eponymous label for over three decades proving with each new season that effortless elegance paired with modern refinement is always relevant. With the encouragement and endorsement of legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, Carolina Herrera presented her first collection of women’s ready-to-wear at New York’s Metropolitan Club in 1981. The collection was hailed as a success and embraced by luxury retailers and fashion press alike. From there, her fashion house was born with the Carolina Herrera New York label! Finding resonance on the runway, down the aisle and with media worldwide, Carolina Herrera has been embraced on the red carpet, dressing stars both well-known and on the rise such as Oscar winner Renee Zellweger, Salma Hayek, Marion Cotillard, Sandra Bullock, Tina Fey, Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift and Zhang Ziyi. With the opening of her first New York boutique in 2000, the designer counts three flagships among her 125 retail locations and 223 shop-in shops in worldwide. With both global recognition and praise, Carolina Herrera has been hailed as “Fashion’s First Lady.” She was named the Council of Fashion Designers of America Womenswear “Designer of the Year” in 2004 and was honored with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. In 2015, Vogue Spain bestowed upon Herrera “Who’s On Next Fashion Icon Award,” which celebrates the designers ongoing contribution to developing young designers and her immense influence in the fashion industry. Most recently, the Lincoln Center Corporate Fund presented Herrera with The Women’s Leadership Award for her contributions to fashion, culture and design in the last 35 years.
