Fashion says 'Me too', Style says 'only Me'

As a statement, I happily adopt  Geraldine Stutz (August 5, 1924 – April 8, 2005); on the issue 'What is fashion, what is style'.  What defines one's unique look? It has nothing to do with money -nor age. Yes, you can buy fashion, but you can't buy style. And true style simply never is out of fashion. Not everyone may like your style.  To me, as long as it represent who you are or what your mood feels like outing; rather than copy what's 'in fashion'; you can't go wrong.


To some, style comes innate. If not, you are most certainly not the only one out there. But hey, you are human thus able to watch and learn. Nurture your likings. Learn by example. There's nothing wrong with that. Fashion shows are meant to inspire us, most of all. No greater compliment to a designer than a good spin-off, but I'd always honour the designer buying the real thing. Art has to be rewarderd by buying a wonderful piece, or just be admired If I can't buy it. And as for spin offs, there is a fine line between a cheap copy and a genuine item is no fake reproduction but fits wonderfully 'in the line of, but not designed by' .
