Carolina Herrera Fashion Quotations

Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.

Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.

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

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

There have been a lot of changes [in the fashion industry], of course. You just have to accept it and be strong.

Fashion is magical, a fantasy. It's madness, and it doesn't last. It's changing all the time.

Fashion is not easy. You have to change your eye to look for beauty all the time.

I'm not in the fashion business; I'm in the beauty business.

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.

The difference between fashion and art is that fashion is art in movement.

For me, fashion begins in New York.

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.

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 didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.

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.

Always choose style over fashion: wear something that makes you look beautiful.
