Carolina Herrera is the name of:
I want women to choose something that makes them feel empowered and fantastic and admired by many people.
Have I ever been horrified to see someone in my clothes? Many times, but I close my eyes and look the other way. That happens to everyone. What can you do? Go and tell her, 'Don't wear that dress again'? We designers always have fantasies in our heads, but the difficult task is to make them reality. Because you can be the best designer, but designing in your own place and with nobody wearing [your clothes], then what happens? You're nowhere.
Don't wear excessive make-up as you grow older. Young women can wear whatever make-up they want, but if you are older, you will regret it.
When you work in fashion, you need to work as a team. You cannot do anything on your own.
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!
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.
Intuition is a strong feminine quality.
I have a responsibility to the woman of today - to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.
Do you know what elegance is? It is not only what you're wearing. It is how you wear it. who you are inside.
I love myself so much, I simply cannot describe it.
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.
It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project.
You need somebody you respect and admire to back you always.
I have always loved trouser suits. It's something I absolutely believe in for women.
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.
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.
Some people take fashion very seriously. . . . but that’s not right. . . Fashion should be fun!
Fashion is not an investment. If you wear a dress and don't get many compliments, you won't wear it again. It's not like buying bonds.
A wedding dress is both an intimate and personal for a woman - it must reflect the personality and style of the bride.
The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.
