Carolina Herrera is a Venezuelan-born designer who first came onto the scene at Studio 54 alongside famous friends such as Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol. Often on New York City’s “best-dressed” lists, her friend Diana Vreeland (then Editor-in-Chief of Vogue) suggested she start her own clothing line. She took her up on that and after designing a collection of 24 dresses sent for samples to be made in Caracas. Soon, her dresses were selling off the rack in a friend’s Upper East Side apartment.
With backing from Venezuelan publisher Armando de Arma, Carolina Herrera has her first runway show in 1980, featuring supermodel Iman, with her first bridal collection debut in 1988. In 2008 (the same year Sarah Jessica Parker wears a Carolina Herrera wedding dress in the Sex and the City movie) the designer was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. “I didn’t go to a fashion-design school. But I know what to do about proportion, about color, about shape,” she told The Boston Globe in 1983.

That fits the description of a Carolina Herrera wedding dress to a T.
