when i started becoming really interested in fashion, my newfound interest manifested itself primarily through trends -- the fleeting markers of popular culture. as i've developed my knowledge, eye and personal style, it's really called into question the difference between fashion and style, and i think that often, my quest to be "fashionable" has thwarted the development of owning my personal style. personal style culls from fashion and trends, obviously, but it should transcend fashion, i believe. personal style should last forever, while fashion is constantly changing.
i found these photos of the birkin family summering on discotheque confusion, and they really called out to me as this exquisite definition of style and grace and fashion as a lifestyle, completely unaffected in every possible way.
discotheque confusionthe best kind of confidence, style, personal allure is one that is inherent, effortless. they are grace, personified.
