reenvented by different designers every season.
Among the key peices that a true fashionista MUST own like the LBD (Little Black Dress),
is the PERFECT WHITE SHIRT!!
Who better to design it than the ever so talented and legendary Carolina Herrera.
I had the pleasure of meeting the amazing woman behind the empire in Dubai with her Daughter
and i have no words to describe such talent, beauty and grace.
INTERVIEW MRS
HERRERA
What are the key items of clothing that
every woman should have in her closet?
It
varies. I don’t think every woman has the same things. I think it’s very
important to own a white shirt that you can wear it with trousers, you can wear
it with a long skirt, with a short skirt, for daytime, for evening. It’s a very
important thing.
A white shirt suits you well. Why is that?
I think I’ve always loved white shirts. It’s like a security blanket for me because I feel that I can wear them with anything and I have been wearing white shirts for such a long time. My first white shirt was when I was going to school and I had a little white shirt with Peter Pan collars and I always wear white shirts to ride, to play tennis, for everything…

How do you wear the white shirt? What
do you accessorize it with? When do you wear it?
It all depends where you’re going. Because in the evening you can accessorize it with jewels or you can accessorize it with whatever you think you are going to wear as a skirt or trousers and then for daytime you do it in a different way: simpler.

How do each of you make the white shirt
your own? How does Carolina, the daughter make it her own?
They make the white shirts their own because they are two different styles… Carolina will wear it in a different way that I do and that I call, that’s developing your own style. It’s wearing the shirt the way it fits you.

What’s the age of the woman who wears
the CH Carolina Herrera white shirt?
I think the white shirts are ageless, they don’t have any age. There isn’t an age of a woman or a young girl who wears a white shirt. It can be worn always.

Any funny White Shirt stories?
That was very funny that story of Carolina when we were in that restaurant in Madrid… a friend of them came in and I was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt and he was very nervous, this gentleman who arrived there and talking to me he threw the whole red wine glass at me and he was so nervous, I thought he was going to pass out and I said, “but don’t worry… I mean, white is such a boring color.” So he was very happy because I had a big, red mark of red wine.

The white shirt has evolved throughout history,
undergoing countless transformations and reinventing itself to become a basic
but essential icon. It is a key garment which can be perfectly combined with
any outfit.
Carolina Herrera is a loyal ambassador of the white
shirt and has made it a must have piece in many of her collections, since she
began in 1981. In fact, it has become a symbol of her personal style, and has become
an iconic element of the fashion house.
Since she began in 1981, she has constantly
featured white shirts in her collections, adapting them and updating them every
season, and demonstrating their great versatility.
In the designer own words: “They have always been
part of my life. They make me feel secure. When I don’t know what to wear, I
choose a white shirt. I love them and find them fascinating; and they can be
worn in many different ways”.
“You can wear them with or without jewelry, with
jeans or with a long or short skirt. It can be worn for special occasions or
even for work”.
