Fashion should be fun. It shouldn't be labelled 'intellectual.'

I love books my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.

You have to find your own style, and it's difficult to define what style is. It's not what you're wearing it's how you wear it. It's something very personal, and it reflects the way you live and your house, the books you read, the art you have.

Femininity is a lot of power. It's allure. And the moment you start competing directly with a man, it's not that fun.
Carolina Herrera

I think elegance is always going to be there.
Carolina Herrera
Image
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.

The difference between fashion and art is that fashion is art in movement.
Carolina Herrera
Image
A man has to have sensibility, wit, mystery, tolerance, and strength... Romance also helps.

Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.
