First Lady Michelle Obama Covers Vogue Magazine

Our First Lady, Michelle Obama, graced the cover (and pages) of Vogue Magazine in a photo shoot at the White House with Annie Leibovitz. Wearing Atelier Versace, Carolina Herrera and Jimmy Choo, Mrs. Obama spoke about leaving the White House and being a mother. As always, FLOTUS was as elegant and stylish as ever.

Carolina Herrera Spring 2017 NYFW

Elegance and sophistication are in the DNA of the Carolina Herrera brand and Mrs. Herrera herself of course. She never fails to deliver collections that epitomize class and femininity. This season however, we saw a modernity that is new to CH. The classic silhouette remained in place but the cut, fit and construction had a newness about it that could only mean one thing - there is new blood at the core of the brand.

Former Oscar de la Renta designers, Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim worked with the legendary designer right up to his death. At the time, Garcia and Kim launched their own label they call Monse. Almost simultaneously, they moved to the creative team at Carolina Herrera. Hence, a fresher, edgier and younger collection is born.

Carolina Herrera: "Refined Irreverence" at SCAD FASH

The Carolina Herrera exhibit, "Refined Irreverence" at SCAD FASH, will leave you breathless. The fashion retrospective features nearly 100 pieces of ready-to-wear, red carpet and bridal looks from the House of Herrera. The exhibit walks you through Carolina's Herrera's inaugural collection from 1981 to the present. Some of the looks were clearly from the 80's with their shoulders and silhouette but most of them were timeless - a true testament to the classic elegance that is the House of Herrera. The ability to walk up to all the gowns and see [and examine] them up close is something that is quite amazing. The stitching, detailing and quality of each and every piece is impeccable. The exhibit itself, carries such presence. It is truly exquisite. 

We are extremely fortunate to be featuring Refined Irreverence in Atlanta. This is a must-see retrospective for every fashion lover, enthusiast and designer - a celebration of an extraordinary thirty-five year career. Carolina Herrera was awarded SCAD's prestigious Étoile Award in May.

Carolina Herrera: Refined Irreverence, which also showcases gowns worn by Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, runs through September 4th at SCAD FASH.

Carolina Herrera Resort 2011

I've been a long time fan of Carolina Herrera. For decades she has consistently delivered strong, sophisticated and elegant collections.

Her 2011 Resort Line is classically Herrera. Her style epitomizes  NY chic and femininity and celebrates a strong woman. [Much like Carolina Herrera herself!] The silhouette is timeless.

Herrera introduces prints and graphic patterns to keep her work current, modern and fresh. The bubble dot motif was big with the designer, in every sense of the word. The most dramatic use through the evening wear.
