Undoubtedly the “First Lady of Fashion” and known for her “exceptional personal style”, Venezuelan-American fashion designer Carolina Herrera has been married twice and is a mother of four. A citizen of the United States since 2009 and featured on the cover of Vogue seven times, Herrera believes successful design is “about having your eyes open” and that fashion collections are about “brothers and sisters that are related”. Witty and enthusiastic, this passionate fashion designer truly deserves her icon status. She surprisingly loves French fries and chocolate and hates sneakers.

The opposite of Chris Reynolds Gordon. A heroine for womankind and a genius. Well done for including this lovely lady.
A genius? Open your eyes to the world around you. She is a mere dress designer
The videos are great. Well worth watching to get an insight into the life of a woman Venetia rightly calls a genius.
If I looked at the videos any chance I could become a genius too?
I love chips also 🙂
Great talent and grace…………….A rare combination these days.
