Among Coco Chanel’s numerous quotes, many of which were frivolous comments upon costume jewelry or on the importance of perfume to a woman’s future (for reference, the exact quote would be: “A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future” – exaggerated, of course, but surely holds\u00a0some\u00a0truth because we all\u00a0know\u00a0the key to attracting and alluring \u00a0men is to appeal to their olfactory sense), one was uttered with wisdom.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“Fashion fades, and only style remains.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And that, mes ch\u00e9ries, is quite true.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

{miroslava duma | image source: t h e \u00a0f a s h i o n s p o t }<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The words “fashion” and “style” have been used interchangeably almost ubiquitously. But in doing so one is mistaken; the words are hardly synonymous. Their connotations are similar, without a doubt, but their denotations differ quite extensively. The former speaks of\u00a0change. Fashion inevitably changes as trends fall to the wayside, and a “new black” emerges along with the next “it” handbag every season seasonally. (My conscious implores me to mention that there is, and will never be, such a thing as a “new black.” Never. Ever.) Fashion\u00a0cycles in the path of the infinitive figure eight<\/a>. Case in point: the last year or so was dark, Baroque, heavy with depression. Grunge-rock made studs, lumber-jack plaids, and Doc Martens all the rage. Enter spring of 2010: the softer, romantic side of fashion has resurfaced, with ethereal peaches and beautifully draped dresses.\u00a0Et cetera.<\/p>\n

Style, however, remains the same. But “same” does not mean it is stagnant or flat – style is ever\u00a0evolving\u00a0(quite different from changing, mind you), dynamic and\u00a0dimensional<\/em>. Style constantly undergoes evolution. It develops and gains through experience. There is depth to each facet, a depth that extends beyond what is seen. That depth is the story behind each personal choice – perhaps this icon or that stranger influenced you, however minute, or a certain piece was a family heirloom. Style is not what is taken off the racks because it so happened to be\u00a0the <\/em>trend of the season.<\/p>\n

Style is an aesthetic emotion<\/em><\/strong>. It is what\u00a0appeals<\/em> to you – ethos, pathos, logos – the whole lot. There may or may not be a known reason for the attraction. Regardless, that something about it pulls you in. The question is, however, whether or not it is innate<\/em><\/strong>. Is it learned, conditioned from what you have always seen? Or is it just there<\/em>, inexplicably there?<\/p>\n

It’s largely debatable, like one of those which-came-first-the-chicken-or-the-egg arguments or like the many psychological perspectives of behavior: psychodynamic, behavioristic, humanistic, biopsychological, cognitive, the likes. I do believe that your personal aesthetics, or eye for style<\/em>, is intrinsic <\/strong>(I do love that word!). The reason for that phase of trying and shedding new things is merely part of that path of self-discovery. For some style comes quite easily. For others, it requires a bit more of trial-and-error to see what feels<\/em> right before they find that consistent look. It then evolves, developing as it adapts to your growth as an individual.<\/p>\n

Part II next, tout de suite<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2665<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

bisous,<\/p>\n

La C.<\/p>\n

P.S. | I realize I am being fussy with words; I’m well aware. Regardless, I find it fascinating how such similar words can mean so many things! I’m such a nerd. There, I beat you to it.<\/p>\n

P.P.S. | Tweet me<\/a>, email me<\/a>, follow me<\/a>, and read me<\/a>! Err, s’il vous pla\u00eet<\/em>!<\/p>\n
