Elegance, an art in itself

We often think elegance is a matter of means. It is more a matter of getting things right: a cut, a colour, a gesture. It can be learnt, just as one learns to look.

A question of proportion

Before the brand and before the price, there is the line. Trousers that break at the right point on the shoe, a jacket that ends where it should, a bag in scale with the figure. When the proportions are right, the outfit looks simple, and that is what makes it elegant.

Restraint

Elegance takes away more than it adds. One beautiful piece is enough for an outfit: the rest accompanies it. Two colours, three at most. A single accessory that catches the eye.

It can be cultivated

Look at how the clothes you admire on others fall. Try shapes you would not have chosen yourself. That is the whole point of a guided fitting: leaving with a new way of seeing, not just with a piece.
