Nina Garcia Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Nina Garcia:

I love 'Project Runway' because I can really be of help to an industry and I can be supportive to designers.

My nightmare of nightmares is being overdressed for a casual event - I've done it! You have to have a real sense of what you want to communicate.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

Serving jury duty is a fascinating little slice of life, with its motley crew of personalities.

Nina Garcia

Fashion is just an interpretation of the culture around us.

Nina Garcia

The fashion editor as it used to be has changed. Now you have to wear many hats, and whoever tells you differently is wrong. Now you're on TV, whether you want it or not.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

I've had to adapt my wardrobe to my various roles, both at the office, as a mom, and for television. When I shop for the season I look for pieces that will suit every facet of my daily life, not just one single occasion.

Nina Garcia

I love shopping for guys! A watch is a fantastic gift idea - an oversized, stainless steel version with links is classic and cool.

Nina Garcia

We all get a little rush of excitement at the prospect of buying a brand-new outfit for a first date, but this is not the time. You're much better off wearing clothes, shoes especially, that you've already tested.

Nina Garcia

For so many years fashion was shrouded in mystery, this glamorous profession that people knew very little about, they thought it was so glamorous. It now has become so available, with the Internet, with shops like H&M and Target that do designer collaborations, so it's more available to everyone and that's created more interest.

Nina Garcia

I do not do selfies! That's a tough one because I don't do selfies, but I think it's all about personal style. The more outrageous, the better.

Nina Garcia

Putting on fierce boots is an instant pick-me-up.

Nina Garcia

I've always been opinionated, unfortunately, to my mother's disappointment.

Nina Garcia

I don't ride the subway. Either I walk, or I take a New York City taxi.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

Fashion is an expression of a time, of a place, of history. It's putting things into context.

Nina Garcia

I love 'Project Runway' because I can really be of help to an industry and I can be supportive to designers.

Nina Garcia

I have seen everything possible covered in studs and grommets. Also, what I call angry shoes: those platforms with the multiple buckles and studs. I think the polished girl is back.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

Taking stock of what you own, when done correctly and thoroughly, helps dampen the urge to shop frivolously.

Nina Garcia

I'm all about my rugs. I don't like a lot of color. The apartment isn't exactly monotone, but it's full of very soft shades. So, really, the fun is with the carpets.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

I tend to wear leather pants with crew neck sweaters or leather jackets with denim.

Nina Garcia

I'm really looking to reach any woman who's interested in refining and embracing her personal style.

Nina Garcia

If my closet were burning, it'd be my collection of jackets I would save - they always make me feel pulled-together.

Nina Garcia

My six favorite textures for fall and winter are leather, fur, tweed, mohair, velvet and wool. I love that they are all as warm as they are fashionable and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe.

Nina Garcia

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.

Nina Garcia

I happen to have an obsession with Korean food.

Nina Garcia

I lived in South America when I was growing up. I spent hours sketching. I was good at drawing, and I was obsessed with fashion, but I was also obsessed with magazines.

Nina Garcia

My aspiration was always to be a fashion editor.

Nina Garcia

I'm a big believer that accessories can make or break a look.
