Carolina Herrera comes home to New York for 45th anniversary show
Carolina Herrera returned to New York on Monday evening to show its Spring 2027 collection at the David H. Koch Theater in its 45th anniversary year.
The show was streamed live from New York City on 14 September at 6 p.m. EST. It closed a world tour of sorts for the house. After destination shows in Madrid, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro, it came home again for the anniversary, WWD reported.
The house was founded in 1981 by Carolina Herrera, who stepped aside in 2018. Wes Gordon, the creative director, has now led it for eight years. Emilie Rubinfeld is its president.
Business is moving fast. Carolina Herrera recorded double-digit revenue growth in the first half of 2026. That outpaced 4.4% like-for-like growth at Puig, the Spanish beauty and fashion group that owns the house.
Puig's president of fashion and fragrance is Ana Trias. Gordon has also been nominated for Women's Designer of the Year at the awards of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the US industry body.
Retail has grown with it. The house opened stores in Miami and La Jolla, California. The Miami shop is a new flagship boutique in the city's Design District.
The Miami Design District boutique runs to nearly 3,000 square feet. It is the brand's sixth location in the United States, The Impression reported.
The assortment has widened too. It now includes Herrera denim, handbags and jewellery. In summer 2026 the house partnered with Net-a-Porter, the online luxury retailer, on an exclusive capsule, a small limited range, launched with a train-to-luncheon event in London.
The earlier travelling shows included resort presentations, the between-seasons ranges shown outside the main calendar, in Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City before the Spring 2026 show in Madrid. The Spring 2027 New York date resets the focus.
There is another birthday in the mix. The Good Girl fragrance turns 10 in 2026. For fans, this means the anniversary is about more than clothes. It links the runway, the shops and the perfume counter in one year.
