It’s hard to believe that Carolina Herrera (born January 8, 1939) will turn 70 tomorrow. The Venezuelan born designer and former society charmer founded her successful eponymous venture in 1980 and made it more successful with each passing year. The big part of company’s success is of course Herrera herself, who is probably the best possible face for her own brand. And the Capricorn dame represents the style ideals of her sign with the uttermost perfection. Above all the sophisticated Goats understand classic tailoring and luxurious fabrics better than just about anyone. Herrera’s best pieces include timeless muted separates, soft indulgent furs, classic dresses suited for fancy formalities, and dream coats. Capricorns like Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Sienna Miller, and Herrera are some of the best trend setters because they often create looks that are approachable and rich looking at the same time. Very few signs can set trends after normal retirement age.
