I don't want the collections to look like a potpourri. It has to have a cohesive idea, and it has to be glamorous and beautiful and fit well.

Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity.

Image
Mistakes in life teach you how to succeed because you want to try again and do it better.
Carolina Herrera
Image
I was brought up with considerable discipline, and I was taught it wasn't proper to display certain very private emotions in public.

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!
Carolina Herrera
Image
Money doesn't buy elegance. You can take an inexpensive sheath, add a pretty scarf, gray shoes, and a wonderful bag, and it will always be elegant.
Carolina Herrera

Image
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.

Image
I don't get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet.
Carolina Herrera
Image
I cannot go and tell women what to wear and what not to wear you have to decide on your own.
Carolina Herrera
Image
Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.
Carolina Herrera
Image
Life always has a bit of a challenge in front of you, and that's what makes you fight for it.
Carolina Herrera
Image
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.

When you work in fashion, you need to work as a team. You cannot do anything on your own.
Carolina Herrera
Image
I believe that you have to treat the people who work with you like your family.

You have to have curiosity in life. The moment you don't have any more curiosity, then don't do anything. Retire and stay in your house.
