Carolina Herrera Interview: Pursuing Elegance | The New York Times

[@maferdash]

She reminds me all those charming high class aunties of good old Caracas of the 80’s and 90’s. No hair out of place, no bad attitude or lack of respect to anyone, especially to their own helping staff. Always gracious, always charming, always classy. Tea time with these high class ladies in Venezuela was nothing to envy Paris or London of the 20th century, just maybe palms, colorful birds and sunny days as typical surrounding.

[@TheMorganVEVO]

Wow. That sounds like such a cool memory. You painted such a pretty picture of that in my head. Now I wanna go there. Lol

[@eliadedorne]

KZbinr Named Morgan Venezuela used to be a great country, until

[@TheMorganVEVO]

@@eliadedorne What happened? 😕

[@maferdash]

@@TheMorganVEVO chavism happened. A regime masked with the false name of socialism took over the country and destroyed it. The colorful birds, the gardens, the blue sky and the fresh air remains. But all those elegant aunties and their rich classy families moved to other latitudes of the world. I hope we can all grace our country with our best example to the new lands that welcomed us.

[@TheMorganVEVO]

@@maferdash Wow. 😔 That sounds really sad. I’m sorry to hear about that.

[@shedskin01]

What I love about her the most is that she embodies the very elegance that mirrors in her designs!

[@TheMorganVEVO]

So true!

[@RafaelSaffiotti]

This woman is an icon in all senses, class in essence!

[@Elanwallace1983]

I have never seen a woman who look for charming,elegant and beautiful at her age! Simply a stunning woman.

[@lamoskgr]

She has a house in Mallorca. A family friend works there. She said she's never met a person more down to earth. I can see why.

[@Hugatree1]

Came upon this in 2020 and realized I hadn’t heard the term elegant in years. I doubt that younger generations even have a concept of what that might mean. Thank you Carolina Herrera for reminding us there is such a concept and a wonderful thing to strive for! Carolina is the epitome of grace beauty and elegance. Thank you Carolina! ❤️❤️❤️

[@imcherbitch943]

Younger generations definitely know the word elegant lol. I’m 25 and have heard that word constantly throughout my life. Such a patronising comment

[@angelapleasants8285]

Her taste was impeccable. Total class and ultra feminine. Simply beautiful. I so wish she didn't have to retire, but everything must change. ❤️

[@robbykidman]

She's oozing with class.

[@FilleDesSoucoupesVolantes]

super classic as always, Carolina Herrera. No logos, no loudness, no flashiness. It's simple, feminine and tasteful. Not everyone can pull off elegance.

[@SuperDvd96]

She's a venezuelan icon. Iconic in all the senses.

[@barbaramarina0]

fun fact: she designed bella swan's wedding dress for the movie and it took several people and 6 months to finish. I always thought that dress was so gorgeous.

[@MasinaTai86]

wow I wanna be just like her when I grow up! lol she's smart, elegant and gorgeous! I like that she's not afraid of elegance, femininity and making things that are so pretty.. and fresh too

[@oscarmundaray2726]

So proud of the success that she have in her career, nothing make me more proud to know that she is from Venezuela and we love her so much here, Te amamos Carolina.

[@mariamassey5468]

STUNNING WOMAN...SHE LOOKS 100% BETTER THAN PEOPLE HALF HER AGE...WOMEN START WEARING MAKEUP, STILETTOS & DRESSES...EMBRACE YOUR FEMININITY & MOST IMPORTANTLY WEAR COLOUR & HAVE FUN EXPERIMENTING NEW LOOKS

Ok but she has many plastic surgery friends also

[@Jolene8]

Wow! She really is fabulous. I've always adored looking at her fashion pieces in magazines. She styles clothes as she dresses.

[@mxonlight7409]

I don't think that there is a designer with such a classy yet charismatic personality than her, you can't deny she is latina

[@carolellamuch9571]

mxonlight I think D.VF is equally elegant Diane

[@charmedprince]

@@carolellamuch9571 Diane is more Studio54, whilst Carolina us more Wine At Home, know what I mean? Lol

[@roryteal5940]

@Monzo Lena And?

[@dt-cx3vc]

@Monzo Lena then get used to it. It doesn't matter you find it "weird" , it's just a matter of fact she's Latina and not just a "south-american white woman" 🤦‍♀️. Latinos have various skin colors and looks. Maybe get more educated instead of trying to assume someone's race just by their looks...

[@marycarmen9677]

@@dt-cx3vc you completely right, besides in our countries in South America, we don't categorize people based on their skin color like in the US.

[@MikSonus]

I love how she can be so objective and critique her work so that it gives space for growth...she believes in her work but always striving to be greater. This is strength! Strong woman. 🤍

[@burton_burton_burton]

She is so exquisite! Lover her designs and the way she carries herself.

[@lowens793]

[@IvanMejia1991]

She’s so classy and fabulous. And I love the fact that she hasn’t lost her latin accent. Orgullo latino.

[@arnie3631]

She becomes more beautiful with age. I wish to age like her

[@omarcah]

She is like Coco Chanel Latina

[@nomado3650]

Not to mention her relationship with Nazi.

[@giselag.miranda9833]

I don't think so, Carolina Herrera is elegant sophisticated but she is different, with a positive vibe, more humble I like her more.

[@rikki1028]

Coco chanel is latina, french people are latinos

Your crisp white shirt is a classic polished fashion staple in every ladies wardrobe. Your signature fabric that allows for molding is elegant. The prints are sharp. I love the use of the flowers in the color prints and flow in the collection. Thank you. Lynn

[@LuvandGlamour]

Love her. Love her brand.

[@MADEbySOUL]

I completely agree with her that some people treat the word elegance like it means old fashioned and prudish.

Un ejemplo a seguir una mujer elegante, inteligente y con mucha clase.Sus diseños son clásicos pero innovadores que todo tipo de mujer puede apreciar. “La profundidad de una persona no se mide por la huella que deja al pasar sino por la distancia que abarca su mirada.”-Carolina Herrera "Dama es aquella que no le interesa tener muchos hombres a sus pies, sino uno solo a su altura" - Carolina Herrera

"I need to have a collection that looks like a family...brothers and sisters and they are all related" ...LOL at Ms Carolina

[@terrygermany2670]

A great insight. Like it much more than the vogue ones. Here you can actually see everything no quick editing an totally HD. The dresses were great. I could see a little Raf Simons influence

[@angelgirl8533]

Now this vision is what I am looking for personally. No potpourri and always elegant.

[@jackcasablanca97]

Esta dama debería tener varias estatuas en Venezuela. Se ignora su grandísimo genio capaz de haber construido, desde cero, una marca global, quizá la única marca global creada por cualquier venezolano, y además, en un campo tan singular, que amalgama el arte, el diseño y la produccion comercial como pocos. Mis respetos (y amor) a tan querida maestra y referente ❤
