Carolina HererraThe editors at Papierdoll are all about retro. They long for the days of Diana Vreeland, Pirelli Calendar girls and having a first lady with style. So upon stumbling on a tiny retrospective on Style.com of Carolina Hererra it was impossible not to point out one particular photo. It slightly scares us because we’re not getting any younger and younger folks seem to be doing just that. The only exception to that rule is Demi Moore but there’s a rumor going around that she harvests the skin of the young is some sort of skin cellar in Idaho, though you may have to take that ghastly rumor with a grain of salt. The photo in question in the Style retrospective is of Carolina Herrera and Mick Jagger (yes he was young at one point). The great thing is that upon first inspection you can really tell if it really truly is Mick. Then you’ll look at the lips and can come to no other conclusion. That is Jagger in all his glory with a young Carolina. What’s particularly interesting is the fact that Herrera will rightly receive the Geoffrey Beene award in June from the CFDA.

We’re happy for Herrera and can’t get over the fact that Mick Jagger was once young.
