Its name is synonymous with elegance and sophistication thanks to its spectacular designs that have become the object of desire for women from all over the planet. However, the designer born in Caracas, Venezuela, has just announced that after almost four decades she will leave her position as creative director of the brand.

“I am delighted with the evolution of the brand in these 37 years. Our success has been incredible and a great dream come true, "said the 79-year-old designer in a statement, who will also replace American designer Wes Gordon. “There are still many opportunities. I am delighted that Wes is now part of the Herrera home. He is the right person for this position."

This Monday, February 12, the brand's fall 2018 collection will be presented at the Museum of Modern Art within the framework of New York Fashion Week, where Herrera will last leave for the last time at the end of the show to receive applause. of attendees. Of course, the legendary Venezuelan, who turned the classic white shirt into a sophisticated piece, will not disassociate herself from the company completely, since after this parade she will become the global ambassador of the brand, representing it in the most important events.

The talented designer made the decision to be calmer and spend more time with her family. This decision has definitely surprised many and we are sure that the elegant and sophisticated designer will be greatly missed, who during her career has put the name of Latinos very high.
