Style Icon: Coco Chanel

Art Deco Style at Home - Some Fabulous Finds!

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening".  Coco Chanel.

Fashion vs Style

Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess.
Edna Woolman Chase, Vogue Editor-in-Chief 1914-1952

Ideas

Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make.  Charles Eames

Keeping in Simple

There is time for work and time for love.  That leaves no other time.  Coco Chanel

Ponder This:

Only the individual taste, in the end, can truly create style or fashion, since it is not concerned with following in the wake of others.  Hence, whatever an individual taste may choose, be it a stepladder or a wicker basket, it must always be based on deep personal choice, a spiritual need that truly assesses and gives value to that particular ladder or basket.  The beauty of these things is somehow transmitted through the personality of the one who chooses.  It is in our selection, after all, that we betray our deepest selves, and the individualist can make us see the objects of his choice with new eyes, with his eyes.
