Style vs. Fashion

I have always said that style and fashion are two very separate things. My personal feeling is that fashion is something that is always changing and determined by designers and mass public opinion. Style on the other hand, is a personal thing; something that can be developed by the individual and should be recognizable as something specific to your likes and tastes. Here are some of my favorite quotes about style from some people who know what they are talking about:

"The only thing worse than having bad taste is having no taste at all."
Diana Vreeland, Past Editor in Chief of Vogue magazine

"The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in."
Paris Hilton, Millionairess

"Attitude is EVERYTHING."
Diane von Furstenberg, Fashion Designer

"Style is primarily a matter of instinct."
Bill Blass, Fashion Designer

"Don't be into trends. Don't let fashion own you, but decide what you are and what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live."
Gianni Versace, Fashion Designer

"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
"Fashion fades; only style remains the same."
Coco Chanel, Fashion Designer

"Style is not a blueprint. It's about finding yourself amid all the rules."
Andy Comer, Editor for GQ magazine
