“Fashion anticipates, and elegance is a state of mind ... a mirror of the time in which we live, a translation of the future, and should never be static.”
Oleg Cassini
Isn´t it so very true that Fashion is always ahead of what people think of when it comes to clothing combinations, colors, forms and shapes?
It is the future but already in the present. It is what we wouldn´t have thought of but someone did. It is the unexpected in form of the newest trend! Yes, FASHION is what others see as unthinkable but in the end it becomes the most wanted style ever, such as skinny jeans, fake leather leggings, flower patterns that might look like my grandma´s quilt, biker boots, combat boots, multicolored hair, neon colored pants and shoes, etc. I could go on and on with trends that 10, 20, or even 50 years ago would have been considered insane and not have been accepted as Fashion, but those styles, became trends. So...
Mr. Cassini also states that elegance is a state of mind. In my opinion, one of the most elegant personalities was Audrey Hepburn throughout her whole life. One of my favorite outfits is though, when she played Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany´s and appears in a beautiful, very classy and elegant black dress with a pearl necklace and her hair up, wearing big black sunglasses and just walking around in that outfit so smoothly, like it´s no big deal. Even though it was a role she played, in real life she always combined elegance and uniqueness so well that there is no doubt for me, that ELEGANCE for her, wasn´t just in her clothing, but in her attitude, it was a STATE OF MIND more than anything else. That is what we should reflect every single time we walk out of our house/apartment in any outfit we are wearing, because we have the right attitude about ourselves, about our outfit and we enjoy looking the way we do!!
Be CONFIDENT about the trends that surround us, maybe even CREATE a new one!!
Show off your STATE OF MIND regarding FASHION and STYLE, and since a state of mind, by definition, changes, it´s no big deal, fashion and styles do too, so we can just start fresh again and find our new state of mind about the FASHION that surrounds us.
Another time I would like to continue writing about this quote by Mr. Cassini.
...I can only say, EXPECT the UNEXPECTED!!
