On January 8, 1939, Mara Carolina Josefina Pacanins y Nio was born in Caracas, Venezuela. Her parents were Mara Cristina Nio Passios and Guillermo Pacanins Acevedo, a former air force officer and governor of Caracas. Her grandmother, a renowned member of high society, introduced her to the fashion industry when she was a little child. Thanks to her grandmother’s indulgence, she would go to fashion shows by well-known designers like Balenciaga and have her closet filled with clothes from Lanvin and Dior. Carolina reflects on this event with joy, saying, “I became accustomed to seeing beautiful things through my own eyes.”
