Carolina Herrera, 35 years of fashion

CAROLINA HERRERA
INTERPRETED: ARCHIVE PORTFOLIO

Carolina’s thirty-five-year career has been marked by beauty and unquestionable style. Most people think of her as very uptown, timeless elegance, all about the cocktail party dress. But there’s another side of her that people don’t know as well: she’s really cool.
For me, it became very important to show this side of Carolina and to allow her to see her own work represented differently. To achieve this, we purposefully assigned the new photography in the book to two young photographers, Josh Olins and Gregory Harris. Their images represent a large section of the Carolina Herrera archive: pieces from her very first collection in 1981 all the way through the clothes she is making today. But we gave them a totally new spin: the clothes are shot in a new light, different environments, and on unexpected models.
