Carolina Herrera wardrobe staples for the modern woman
For the first anniversary of CH Carolina Herrera in the Philippines, the brand puts the spotlight on social media and fashion darlings Mari Jasmine, Sam Lee, Lovi Poe, and Heart Evangelista. They know a thing or two about what gets their audience to double tap and engage with them. Whether it’s a snap of where they currently are, an off-day OOTD, or even just a bare-faced selfie, they use their feeds to tell their own story, and to share with thousands (and in some cases, millions) a piece of who they really are — their insignia.
Just like Carolina Herrera, these women are widely known and loved for their sartorial statements. And just like the designer herself, they each want to be remembered beyond the crisp white shirts, and their favorite accessories. Whatever chances and risks they take with their work, the goal to be authentic to themselves and inspire others to do the same remains. And that’s the insignia they wish to leave.
The timeless crisp white shirt is synonymous to the CH brand, and to elevate this in celebration of the brand’s 35th anniversary, the famed designer created the Insignia collection, a set of bags, jewelry and accessories to symbolize the mark she has left in the fashion industry. Taking the iconic CH logo as a starting point, a new signature monogram was created; a symbol full of meaning present in all collections offering added value.
More than just the brand’s initials and logo, the Insignia collection also draws inspiration from influential women who have left a mark in history. The Victoria Insignia bag honors Queen Victoria, whose seal featuring her figure was the first ever issued by the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the Ella Insignia bag, the latest addition to the collection and first unveiled to the world in Manila, was fashioned after jazz singer Ella Jane Fitzgerald. With her vibrant personality and raw talent, she stood out as one of the most recognized artists during the 1930s, making her the perfect inspiration for the Art Deco piece.
The Insignia collection is about revisiting your wardrobe staples — the items that have crafted your style and shaped how you present yourself to the world — while discovering new pieces to compliment your existing look. It celebrates diversity as well as authenticity and incorporates the unique, yet timeless essence of the House of Herrera.
The Carolina Herrera Insignia collec- tion is available in the CH Carolina Herrera flagship store. Located in one of the most luxurious shopping destinations in the Philippines, the Greenbelt 5 flagship creates the perfect house for #CHManila. It offers the whole range of CH Carolina Herrera collections for men and women: RTW, bags, shoes, small leather goods, accessories and jewellery.
