If we started a list of designers worth honoring — trust us, there are a lot — there’s no doubt that Carolina Herrera would be near the top of that list. The savvy designer has decades of creating gorgeous dresses under her belt and never fails to make women look impeccable. Carolina’s clothes always lend a sophisticated appeal to the wearer.
In December 2016, fashion enthusiasts flocked to Alice Tully Hall to honor the 35-year legacy of the Carolina Herrera brand, featuring a performance by Diana Ross and a black-tie dinner in the atrium. The space was adorned with archive pieces from the design house, curated by the Savannah College of Art & Design.
Here are the women who looked their best in dresses from the designer at An Evening Honoring Carolina Herrera:
