Carolina Herrera and Carolina Adriana Herrera by Alexi Lubomirski -
Before her show, Mrs. Herrera shares what she's watching, reading and loving at the moment (could there be a trend towards the 20s and Cafe Society?)
A Book: "I'm reading several books right now, including The Paris Wife by Paul McLain. The book tells the story of Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife and is based in the 20s, which is a fascinating era. I am also reading Heart of the Night and The Coffee House.
A Movie: "The last movie I saw I loved was Midnight in Paris. Woody Allen did a fantastic job".
A Cafe: "At the moment, I love The Lambs Club in New York for lunch". I don't have a favorite cafe in the world because I seem ti have one in every country I visit.

flashy". Her signature is a crisp white shirt, often turned back at the
cuffs; she is also likely to turn up to an evening gala in a white le
smoking as in
a floor-sweeping ball gown. "I have always loved trouser suits", she
has said. "It's something I absolutely believe in for women..
