It's very important to have a definitive style as a designer.
Carolina Herrera
Image
You can wear them with anything. It's the person and the way that they wear it that makes it different. I have been designing white shirts forever, but I don't get tired of it.

Even if it doesn't fit the woman, like, let's say a very short skirt, and the woman doesn't have the legs or the height to wear the skirt, but she has to wear it because it's fashionable. Don't do it! If it doesn't look good on you, don't worry about it.

You cannot forget about your femininity. You don't have to compete with men in that respect.
Carolina Herrera
