Thrift Find: Carolina Herrera: Portrait of a Fashion Icon

Above picture via

Yesterday while thrifting with Becky I made an incredible discovery.  I love coffee table books about art and fashion and spotted Carolina Herrera: Portrait of a Fashion Icon on the shelf amongst all the chick lit and old textbooks.  Score!  I haven’t gotten a chance to read all the text yet since it’s rather large (doesn’t even fit on my scanner!) but I wanted to share two images.

This is Carolina at 16 in Caracas.

And again in 2001 in Santo Domingo.  The white collar shirt is such a Herrera signature and it’s obvious why— it is classic, timeless, casual and yet glamorous.  Sadly, it is also an item missing from my wardrobe.  Better get on that!
