Carolina Herrera (born January 8, 1939) is a Venezuelan-American fashion designer〔 known for "exceptional personal style", and for dressing First Ladies from Jacqueline Onassis to Michelle Obama. ''The New York Times'' cited her designs as "elegant and worldly without ever being fussy".〔 ==Early and personal life== She was born María Carolina Josefina Pacanins y Niño on January 8, 1939, in Caracas, Venezuela,〔 to Guillermo Pacanins Acevedo, an air force officer and former governor of Caracas, and María Cristina Niño Passios.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The New York Times )〕 Her socialite grandmother introduced her to the world of fashion, taking young Carolina to shows by Balenciaga and buying her outfits at Lanvin and Dior. She has said "My eye was accustomed to see pretty things." In 1957, at the age of 18, she married Guillermo Behrens Tello, a Venezuelan landowner, with whom she had two daughters, Mercedes and Ana Luisa.〔''Latinas in the United States: A Historical Encyclopaedia, Volume 1'', pages 325-326〕 They later divorced. In 1968, in Caracas, she married Reinaldo Herrera Guevara, who had inherited the Spanish title The 5th Marqués of Torre Casa in 1962 upon his father's death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gobierno De Espana, Agencia Estatal Boletin Oficial del Estado - Order 3742 )〕〔 Reinaldo was the host of ''Buenos Días'', a Venezuelan morning-television news program and the elder son of Reinaldo Herrera Uslar, a prominent Venezuelan sugarcane plantation owner and art collector. Therefore, by marriage, Carolina held the title ''The Marquise consort of Torre Casa'', until it was retracted in 1992, as Reinaldo had issued no son.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Gobierno De Espana, Agencia Estatal Boletin Oficial del Estado - Order 26340 )〕 Her husband is a special-projects editor of ''Vanity Fair'' magazine,〔 and they have two daughters, Carolina Adriana and Patricia Cristina, and six grandchildren.〔 In 2009, Herrera became a naturalized United States citizen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carolina Herrera (fashion designer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
