Image
I am very shy. When I go to a charity ball, I don't mind if people look at my sleeves. I mind terribly if I have to say something.
Carolina Herrera
Image
You need somebody you respect and admire to back you always.
Carolina Herrera
Image
There have been a lot of changes [in the fashion industry], of course. You just have to accept it and be strong.
Carolina Herrera
Image
Mistakes in life teach you how to succeed because you want to try again and do it better.
Carolina Herrera
Image
The difference between fashion and art is that fashion is art in movement.
Carolina Herrera
Image
You cannot forget about your femininity. You don't have to compete with men in that respect.
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.
Carolina Herrera
Image
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
Image
I don't like trends. They tend to make everybody look the same.
Carolina Herrera
Image
In fashion, you have to have perseverance. You have to do it again and again, but it's something that comes out of my heart, and I love it.
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
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.
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
British and American women have very different styles and a different way of living.
Carolina Herrera
Image
Just wear what you think looks beautiful.
Carolina Herrera
Image
I don't get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet.
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
The little black dress must be luxurious, rich, sensual, diaphanous, exotic, severe, lush, demure, demanding, frivolous, amusing, and it must linger in memory, but above all, it must be simple and little and black.
Carolina Herrera
Image
It's very important to have a definitive style as a designer.
Carolina Herrera
Image
You have to have talent to design and to dress thousands of women or millions of women around the world. And you know very well, the only thing they want is to look more beautiful.
