Carolina Herrera on her life in the fashion world

Fashion designer Carolina Herrera started her business at age 40, and has now created a billion dollar empire. Herrera sat down with "CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell to discuss designing for runway shows, first ladies and Lady Gaga.

I am 38, this has encouraged me so much that it is never too late to pursue your dreams! Thank you!

She became a good wife, then a good mother and finally an outstanding designer. Besides all the privileges she might have had, she clearly put a lot of dedication and hard work to build this strong brand. Congratulations and respect to her.👏👏👏

Whoever does Carolina's facework is the top doctor. She looks SO natural. I love Carolina, a great woman.

[@rogeracosta7326]

So proud of her because she put Latinos up and proud

[@JArtfulLiving]

She looked like a super model herself when she was young.

[@michaeldugenia4091]

I love this elegant woman. Her dresses are for women, designed by a woman. And I also like her fragrances.

[@gregoryambres1897]

This word "work" as it applies to a number of endeavors: music, art, fashion, et cétera -- needs to be addressed. "Work" per se is simply "effort." As such, all of human effort is worthy and dignified. 🏆

[@raytang76]

I'm proud to say I own one of her many fragrances...and it smells AMAZING!!! :)

[@whs1073]

Love Carolina Herrera but I think wasn't too hard for her to begin in the fashion industry at 42. She was already very wealthy and her husband was the Vanity Fair's editor at that time.

[@myhs57]

She is gifted.

[@carolinebennett5615]

She may have been privileged, and that may have opened doors, but it doesn’t mean you will succeed in a cut throat business for decades. She has been highly rated and successful from her first collection. Daddy’s money won’t buy you that.

[@daniel_ejs]

I'm from Venezuela and trust me, she was born super wealthy, surrounded by very influential people, but we can't deny she has talent :) and a gift for what she does

[@TheJovis71]

Me encanta esta mujer. Gracias por tus diseños .

[@wmpetroff2307]

That was a cool interview. How neat! CH is an inspiration to those after the age of 40. Henry Ford, too.

[@multilingualmegan78]

she's my idol. age is not an excuse. Coming from a third world country is not an excuse. If you have a dream you can make it happend.

[@myhs57]

She comes from an aristocratic family. Her ancestors came from Spain and Italy. What else could u expect?

[@moreccs]

@@myhs57 Si sus ancestros llegaron a Venezuela, pero hace por lo menos 300 años,

[@myhs57]

HER COUNTRY IS A: COUNTRY IN DEVELOPMENT(DURING THE 50´S AND 60´S THE ECONOMY OF VENEZUELA WAS AT THE SAME LEVEL AS THE USA.). SHE COULD MAKE HER DREAM COME TRUE EITHER IN NYC, AS IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN EUROPE.

[@mvante-wh9bq]

Her country wasn’t poor when she was born Venezuela was a rich country not too long ago. Venezuela started going downhill not even 15 years ago her family was rich even before she was rich

[@Walter-mn4yl]

Señorita calleles la boca a esa gente tenemos que hacer un salto cuántico

[@xanderkrutke7979]

[@andrenewcomb3708]

The girls move too fast on the runways. I don't mind that hippy . . . perky . . . pace. Helps the fabrics to move. When women/girls look like 'DON'T TOUCH!' . . . then the clothes are right.

[@Walter-mn4yl]

Señorita tenemos que hacer un salto cuántico soy Perú debo asumír mis poderes y saltando con usted ❤❤ miré algo inteligente objetivo su ESTRUCTURA osea su celulas están jóvenes tenemos el control de la longevidad

[@Dreamskater100]

0:26 Was she trying to be Audrey Hepburn?

[@helenadetroya7196]

La ropa personal de Carolina es mi gusto y de eso no hace para vender..?.. ha dado un giro con prendas muy raras o vestidos a medias con todo al descubierto o transparentes como muchísimas marcas que no visten nada serio ni elegante desde mi punto de vista

[@carmenjennijimenez4967]
