Heir Apparent In a family where fashion is a way of life, Carolina Herrera de Báez adds a new dimension to her mother's eponymous fashion house. BY LISA MARSH PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALEXI LUBOMIRSKI Carolina Herrera de Báez studied to be a scientist, has made jewelry, operated a boutique, worked as a filmmaker and developed fragrances for her mother's namesake company. This Renaissance woman draws from these experiences, and more, as creative advisor for CH Carolina Herrera. "CH Carolina Herrera is the lifestyle line of Carolina Herrera," she explains. "It is for a woman who has her own sense of style...a woman who loves fashion but is not a fashion victim. It is modern and easy to wear." 36 BAL HARBOUR Coming from a woman who lives in Madrid, travels to her family's farm in Cáceres on the weekends, makes at least six trips annually to work in New York and still manages to spend time with her three small children and former bullfighter husband, Miguel "El Litri" Báez, it sounds as though she is the CH Carolina Herrera target market. And her go-to pieces echo that belief. "They look good with anything from jeans to mini shorts to an evening skirt," she says of the pants, little black dresses and CH silk shirts that makeup her wardrobe.
