Carolina Herrera is a Venezuelan fashion designer born to a socialite family in Caracas in 1939. She is known for her exceptional personal style, and has dressed American First Ladies including Jacqueline Onassis, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, and Melania Trump.
Her trademarks are classy pieces like pencil skirts paired with crisp white cotton shirts. In 2008 she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
In 1995, Spanish fragrance company Puig acquired the Carolina Herrera fashion business. They launched a successful perfume under her name, and also started a ready-to-wear brand called CH Carolina Herrera. Herrera retired from the company in 2018, and has passed on the reins to her two daughters Carolina Jr. and Patricia Herrera Lansing. Current Creative Director: Wes Gordon
