Carolina Herrera quotes about
fashion thinking challenges
I think it is good that fashion is a challenge because when something is a challenge, you want to do it better.
thinking important sense-of-humor
I think a sense of humor is the most important thing anyone can have.
thinking age world
Glamour is beyond beauty and beyond age. It's like sex appeal. You either have it or you don't, but I don't think it's the end of the world if you don't have it!
thinking elegance
I think elegance is always going to be there.
beautiful thinking
Just wear what you think looks beautiful.
thinking done retiring
If you think that you did everything and know everything and that everything has been done perfectly well, then it's time to retire.
fashion past thinking
I've been dressing Renee on the red carpet for the past three years, ... I think she always looks great. She has the right proportion for my clothes. She has that tiny waist and she loves fashion.
thinking retiring
When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.
mother fashion thinking
One thing about my mother is that she has her taste: She knows what she likes and what looks good. It's not studied. There is no insecurity in what she is going to wear, and I think that translates into effortlessness. Her career has been a steady rise, and it hasn't been about the fashion of the moment. It's been because she has kept to her style. She didn't go grunge when it was grunge, or 70's when it was 70's. It's about being secure with what you like and not worrying about what's in fashion that particular day. That's what I admire about her.
fashion past thinking
I want women to really look like women from today. It's not from the past and not from the future, because I don't know what happens in the future. It is the woman of today (who) I think is a seductive woman.
thinking color black
I don't think women need another black bag. Everybody has a black bag already, so I thought this season (needs) color.
fashion thinking important
Can I tell you who is the most important fashion icon in the world? Queen Elizabeth of England. Think about that. She has never put her foot anywhere wrong and always looks fantastic.
wearing
When you're wearing something you feel comfortable in, you move better. That's why the most important accessory you can have is a full-length mirror.
strong style difficult
It is difficult to read the reviews when you start because you see something in your collection and the press sees something else. That is when you have to be very strong about your own style. They can say whatever they want, but I do what I do because I love it.
