Carolina Herrera was born in 1939 and is a native of Venezuela. After many years of being named "Best-Dressed in the US" she started her own ready-to-wear line in the early 80s, with designs since heralded for their classy and subtle style. Most known for her elegant day and evening wear, under her daughter's influence the company has since broken into the fragrance market, initially with the eponymous Carolina, which was followed by a variety of sexy and sensual scents, including Chic and 212.
