Nina Garcia Quotes

I happen to have an obsession with Korean food Picture Quote #1

I’m a big believer that accessories can make or break a look Picture Quote #1

Like most people, I’ve grown a lot more sophisticated in my style choices. I know myself and what suits me better now than I did when I was much younger and feel more comfortable in my own skin Picture Quote #1

You can find a mentor; you have to ask questions, you have to show interest in what the other person is doing. You have to have curiosity - I think that people appreciate that and will want to help you Picture Quote #1

I grew up with a fashion-obsessed mother and an older sister, so there was a lot of fashion in my house. The first thing I remember owning was a Pierre Cardin jumpsuit when I was 9 or 10; of course I didn’t actually buy it, but I fell in love with it Picture Quote #1

I’m very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I’m all about being streamlined - less is more Picture Quote #1

When I was older and I first started working, I was obsessed with buying my first Chanel jacket. I saved up my hard-earned money, went to Barneys, and bought a little black Chanel jacket. It saw many, many job interviews and many, many events. I’m not fitting into it lately, but I still have it Picture Quote #1

If you look back in history of the women who are most memorable and most stylish, they were never the followers of fashion. They were the ones who were unique in their style, breakers of the rules. They were authentic, genuine, original. They were not following the trends Picture Quote #1

I am always being stopped for style advice, and I love it! The way we dress says so much about ourselves, and I love when I can help others take control of that Picture Quote #1

When interviewing for any job, you of course want to dress appropriately for the position, but you also want to stay true to who you are Picture Quote #1

My mother was a very big inspiration. She loved fashion. I loved art in school, and I was very good at drawing. I could sit at the table forever and just dream up collections and draw Picture Quote #1

Invest in a couple of really good things - a great, classic coat; a good pair of shoes; and a timeless bag - then fill in the gaps with lower-priced pieces Picture Quote #1

Each moment calls for a different stylistic essence and a different sense of impact, and mastery of this balance is an art form - a very learnable art form Picture Quote #1

Here’s the thing: I love what I do for the magazine, and I love what I do on television. When you do the things that you love, it’s not bad. It’s about being very organized Picture Quote #1

Some girls on the street don’t have a lot of money, but they have the best style. It’s not about being able to buy everything in the store Picture Quote #1

What I loved about my partnership with ‘Quarterly’ was the fact that it bridges the online world with the real world. Sometimes we see these two worlds as separate entities, and to be able to establish a bridge is very exciting Picture Quote #1

After assessing what’s in your closet, make a list of what you need. Not want, but need. Write down the basics missing from your wardrobe. It could be a classic white shirt, a trenchcoat, or the perfect little black dress. Whatever the blank spots, write them down. This will be your reference for shopping Picture Quote #1

I’m a real believer in dressing tone-on-tone. I’m not saying you need to dress black. Dress just one color so the colors are not breaking your silhouette Picture Quote #1

Whenever I’m on a book tour, one of the questions I always get asked is what to wear to various occasions Picture Quote #1

I firmly believe that 90 percent of the confusion that women feel when they are attempting to put together an occasion-specific ensemble is caused by fear: fear of breaking the ‘fashion rules,’ fear of violating some long-forgotten tradition, or the basic fear of looking bad Picture Quote #1

My style is about making things last forever. When you’re on a budget, it can be daunting to spend $300 on a pair of boots or a coat. But such basics are the building blocks from which your look is crafted Picture Quote #1

Many of my friends and colleagues are in the public eye, so they have to pay close attention to what they wear. But every woman needs to stay on her toes in this era of cell-phone cameras and Facebook Picture Quote #1

It’s interesting because we live in a country where the obesity is so enormous. And then the reflection on the runways is girls that are so thin. So there’s two extremes that are almost like a reflection of themselves, and it’s very hard to be in the middle with girls that are just healthy Picture Quote #1

I think my Latino culture has equipped me with a different point of view than the rest of my counterparts, and seeing things from a different angle has helped me a lot. I feel very proud of my culture, of my Latino heritage Picture Quote #1

Fashion is an expression of a time, of a place, of history. It’s putting things into context Picture Quote #1

I’ve said this so many times, but I keep coming back to this: Trends come and go. Own them and make them your own. If it doesn’t feel right, then don’t feel like you need to dress a certain way just to be trendy Picture Quote #1

One of the most magical places on Earth is a small island in the Caribbean called Mustique. With brilliant beaches, warm water, and lush vegetation, this tiny green swath of land is my idea of paradise Picture Quote #1

In Colombia, where I was born and raised, women like my mother considered their appearance and personal grooming a matter of principle. There was never an occasion where she didn’t show up looking picture-perfect Picture Quote #1

Style is about fun. True style is not about having a closet full of expensive and beautiful things - it is instead about knowing when, where, and how to utilize your collection Picture Quote #1
