Carolina Herrera Thinking Quotations

I think it is good that fashion is a challenge because when something is a challenge, you want to do it better.

I think a sense of humor is the most important thing anyone can have.

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!

I think elegance is always going to be there.

Just wear what you think looks beautiful.

If you think that you did everything and know everything and that everything has been done perfectly well, then it's time to retire.

I've been dressing Renee on the red carpet for the past three years, ... I think she always looks great. She has the right proportion for my clothes. She has that tiny waist and she loves fashion.

When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.

One thing about my mother is that she has her taste: She knows what she likes and what looks good. It's not studied. There is no insecurity in what she is going to wear, and I think that translates into effortlessness. Her career has been a steady rise, and it hasn't been about the fashion of the moment. It's been because she has kept to her style. She didn't go grunge when it was grunge, or 70's when it was 70's. It's about being secure with what you like and not worrying about what's in fashion that particular day. That's what I admire about her.

I want women to really look like women from today. It's not from the past and not from the future, because I don't know what happens in the future. It is the woman of today (who) I think is a seductive woman.

I don't think women need another black bag. Everybody has a black bag already, so I thought this season (needs) color.

Can I tell you who is the most important fashion icon in the world? Queen Elizabeth of England. Think about that. She has never put her foot anywhere wrong and always looks fantastic.
