Fashion designer Caroline Smith, who recently celebrated her 50th birthday in style, has revealed some of her favourite styles and how they came to be.
She says there’s always been an element of style that goes along with your race and culture, but that sometimes you just need to take your hat off to someone else.
She’s a British model, actress, writer and fashion icon who started out in the modelling world, but after a decade in the industry she’s now a fashion designer in Sydney.
“I think it’s really important to look at your own style, it’s not just about you, it really is about what you want to achieve,” she said.
“A lot of times it’s very personal to you, so it’s important to find a balance between your personal style and the style of the world.”
Ms Smith is known for her iconic style, which she said started as an early attempt to create something new, but evolved into a more contemporary look.
“The style of an era can have a huge impact on how you look today,” she explained.
“If you have a really great style, but it’s in your past, it can be very distracting.”
It’s important that you look at yourself and ask, ‘What does my style mean to me?’
“You don’t have to look like a king, you don’t need to be a king.
You can just wear your hat, you can wear the hat of your community, you just have to keep your head up.
Caroline Smith is a designer in Australia.

What is the history of fashion?
I was like, ‘what’s fashion?'” she said, adding that she has a lot of “tough” advice for other aspiring fashion designers.””
I remember the first time I was inspired to make something, I was in a class in university and someone was asking me, ‘do you have any fashion tips?’
I was like, ‘what’s fashion?'” she said, adding that she has a lot of “tough” advice for other aspiring fashion designers.”
In my experience, most people who start off with a lot less money, they’re probably not going to achieve as much as people who make more money, so they’re going to need to find something they’re passionate about, something they can be passionate about and they’re also going to want to do it for a long time.”
She said she was inspired by fashion, which was “a way of expressing yourself”.
“I started out just by being very aware of the way people wore clothes.
You’d buy some clothes for yourself, you’d buy something for your friends or someone you knew who was in fashion,” she recalled.”
You’d find things that you liked, but you didn’t know how to use, so you’d just buy it.
You’re trying to find the best way to wear it.””
It was just me being aware of fashion, I didn’t have any knowledge about it, so I just wanted to make my own.”
There were some really good tips that came from the people who were in the fashion industry, and they were like, what if I did this, what would happen?
It was just the best idea at the time.
“What is being stylish?
How does it work?
When I was younger I was always into fashion, but now I think that’s gone a bit too far, so that’s what I’ve got to look for, what you need to look out for, to make sure you’re looking your best.””
You have to find your balance between different parts of yourself, whether it’s what you’re wearing or what you wear with your hair.”
When I was younger I was always into fashion, but now I think that’s gone a bit too far, so that’s what I’ve got to look for, what you need to look out for, to make sure you’re looking your best.
“The best way for young women to look their best is to be “very self-conscious” about their style, she said and to focus on wearing “the same clothes you have for the whole year”.”
You need to make yourself feel like you’re not really looking at the outside world and you’re really looking inside yourself, and you can’t afford to be embarrassed.
What does she wear now? “
That’s where I started, and then I just started dressing like a model and a model dressed like a woman, that’s when I realised, this is what I like to wear.”
What does she wear now?
She says she’s changed her style in the last 10 years, with the exception of the look she wore when she was modelling.
“But I don’t feel like I’m dressing too much like an actress,” she joked.
“Instead I think I’m more like a modern day model, because I’ve just started a new phase of my life.”
