quote of the day may: on style

After reading an utterly disappointing interview of Anna Wintour-- one that focused on speculation by unnamed others on her personality rather than her incredible legacy-- I began thinking about poise and pursuits in being fashionable. But Wintour is more than highly educated and influential on fashion- she possesses style. And we all know people like this- whose attitude and beauty goes beyond the tangible and material, and endures in even the smallest actions with grace. Here are some quotes from notable style experts:

"Fashions fade, style is eternal."
-Yves Saint Laurent

"Style is a simple way of saying complicated things."
-Jean Cocteau

"Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress."
-Coco Chanel
