Carolina Herrera - a classic in fashion and perfume

Maria Carolina Josephine Pakanins e Nino - that's how the full original name of the famous designer and perfumer Carolina Herrera sounds. Born in Venezuela in 1939, this woman did not suspect that after a while she would become a trendsetter and producer of popular cosmetics and enchanting scents.

Since childhood, the girl has been involved in a world of beautiful and elegant things. For the first time Carolina Herrera saw a fantastic couture show at the age of 13. It was then that my grandmother took her to the homeland of the world fashion - in Paris. This city helped the future designer to plunge into the atmosphere of bright and sparkling clothes and a charming melody created by models and creators. Acquaintance with the world of fashion began with an amazing show of the famous couturier Cristobal Balenciaga. As Carolina Herrera later remarked, it was from childhood that she used to surround herself with stylish and beautiful things.

At the age of 41, she released her first collection of clothes, which won a huge amount of sympathy among critics and lovers of dressing beautifully. As the designer says, both in clothes and in fragrances it is necessary to observe harmony with reality, but you should add a little imagination. It is with this motto that a woman lives all her life.
