Quote du Jour

26 August 2008 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

“Fashion is the machine that drives the business. Style, on the other hand, is an unconscious gift that money can’t buy. It’s being comfortable not only in your clothes but in your own skin. I’ve always admired how European women have such effortless style, as though they’ve been culturally raised to wear clothes gracefully and effortlessly. There’s something wrong about trying too hard to be fashionable. When people are too ‘outfitted,’ it comes across as self-conscious.”

—Horacio Silva
