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 '70s were full of creativity. Everybody was so unique. It was a very creative period, and I think to be a designer you have to know a little about art and literature and music because there is inspiration in all of these things. You're looking for beauty but also something that makes sense.

I walk in the park every day, and when people come and ask for a photograph, I say, Oh, my God! It means they recognize that I have been doing something right and they want to have a photograph taken with me.

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.

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.

Fashion is a dream. It's difficult, and there are many aspects of fashion that are very difficult, but if you love it like I do, because I really have a passion, now, for fashion, it's not easy, but nothing is easy in life.
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
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
You cannot forget about your femininity. You don't have to compete with men in that respect.
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.
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.
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.

Image
Any business is the same in the beginning because nobody knows where it's going to ride.
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.
Carolina Herrera
Image
Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.

You need somebody you respect and admire to back you always.
