Successful fashionistas know clothes, but just as importantly, they know their own bodies. They know what they really think and feel and how they move and react. You should be able to know your insecurities and attributes, and how to process all that information to bring out the best and most beautiful you. This is how you create personal style.

 

Get inspired. Who inspires you? One of my personal modern day favorites is Kate Moss. I love how she can look effortlessly chic no matter what she wears, how she can mix something worth five dollars with a five thousand dollar item. So with her, it’s as much about her image as it is  her attitude and approach to fashion.

 

Got that? Style can be empowering when you understand your own limits and strengths and know how to exploit them favorably. It is not limited to the rich and famous. We’re all looking for style cues in the way we live. An adjustment here or there or something new(even if it’s really vintage) in your life provides a sense of renewal.

 

Inspiration may also be staring right at you. I remember being in Paris a few years ago for the Alexander McQueen fashion show and seeing so many women- dressed in what appeared to be in clothes by one designer unknown to me. The designer’s esthetics , line  and point of view was evident in all the clothes I saw on women in the shops and on the street. I  had enough  courage to ask one woman in French who she was wearing and she told me Vanessa Bruno. I got directions to the nearest Vanessa Bruno boutique and bought all the pieces I had been admiring all this time. This dress was one of my purchases. I love the romance of the silk and sheer fabric paired together. The proportions of the dress is built in to what appears to be a simple dress but is really deceptively detailed. It was these details  that I recognized and knew instantly  came from  one designer. I have been a fan of Vanessa Bruno  ever since.
