In 1981, she opened her business with a collection of twenty dresses. At first Herrera's clothes had the exaggerated sleeves and shoulder pads often associated with the Dynasty television show. Through the years, as her business grew, she redefined her look and presented stylish and wearable clothes that are considered timeless. Her designs are simple and elegant, and very well made. This dress is an early example of the designer's less expensive dress CH collection.
