Цитата сообщения Piece_du_jour Грейс в огне

Daily fashion report прислали цитаты из книги Грейс Коддингтон, редактора "Вог". Я пока не добралась до книги, и не скоро доберусь - мемуары не мой жанр, но цитаты с удовольствием перепечатываю.

Chic is not about designer clothes; chic is not about money. Chic is about personal style, how to mix your things together

I think a lot of people don't know how to judge anymore. You see awful bags in collections and the houses send it to the actresses, you know, ten actresses, so they wear it and people want to follow and have the same bag, even if the bag is the most awful thing in the world. I don't think people judge anymore. They judge by the name and who is wearing it. You know all those handful of actresses. I mean it's just monstrueux. C'est monstrueux. It's terrible. When I see these pauvre Birkin bags worn by all of these people now, c'est terrible. Because they don't know how to wear it. Suddenly it's becoming vulgaire, you know? And I love vulgarity. Sometimes I prefer vulgarity to bon chic bon genre. But it's a certain vulgarity. I always say I prefer Saint-Tropez to Île de Ré. Île de Ré is caviar, French, you know, very striped T-shirt, bicycle, the market, we talk, da, da, da. I prefer Saint-Tropez. I prefer the rich bitch. I love the rich bitch. I always try to make my girl look like a rich bitch.

1- Trends: Forget about them!

2- Pile it on: Don't be afraid to pile on the jewelry (all the better if it's gold: 'think' Rich Bitch).

3- Keep it real: add elements of the street and mix high and low, and go easy on the make up.

4- Crazy mixed up salad: Equating fashion with a mixed up salad, is not a bad thing: lettuce may be healthy but it's dull by itself and needs to be spiced up with various ingredients to make it tasty, appealing, personal, and interesting.

5- Vulgar is as vulgar does: Don't forget that pinch of vulgarity now and again.

6- Uniformly Speaking: Affect a no fail uniform that works.

7- Forever Young: Keep a youthful attitude but don't dress in a way that is too young for your age (it's not about looking young but looking great).

8- Top Coat: Invest in coats (they are KEY).

9- Fall Flat: Flats and especially, low heels, are so much chicer than high high heels, day or night, and luckily, spring 2013 is a season filled with highly covet able, distinctive versions.

9- Add plenty of ATTITUDE (I've always been a firm believer that you can get away with anything, as long as you have lots of attitude, and act as though you 'own' it).
