Carolina Herrera celebrated the brand’s 45th anniversary during New York Fashion Week with the presentation of its Spring/Summer 2027 collection at the Lincoln Center. Under the creative direction of Wes Gordon, the collection paid tribute to the brand’s heritage and the founder’s New York roots.

A central theme of the show involved the integration of pop art, specifically utilizing Andy Warhol’s 1979 portrait of Carolina Herrera on various garments and accessories. The presentation featured iconic brand elements such as polka dots, floral prints, and voluminous silhouettes, set against a backdrop of approximately 20,000 yellow tulips.

The milestone marks four and a half decades since the brand’s 1981 debut in New York, a launch originally supported by editor Diana Vreeland. At 87 years old, Carolina Herrera attended the event, appearing in a structured white shirt and wide-leg black trousers.

Following the runway presentation, the anniversary celebrations included an exclusive gathering of women entrepreneurs on September 17 at the brand’s Madison Avenue boutique. Organized by Gaby Bravo and Bravos Leadership, the event featured a discussion with Mía de Molina, Carolina Herrera’s Director of Public Relations and Marketing in the United States, regarding strategic brand building, leadership, and brand positioning. The gathering also included a charitable component, with proceeds benefiting Casita Esperanza Kids, an organization founded by Gaby Bravo.
