“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” --Oscar Wilde

What is Style Versus Fashion

Most people would think that there is NO difference between the two, but there are major differences.

Fashion is determined by others, usually magazines, models, media, etc. Fashion has time limits because its a trend; one day its in and the next its out. Fashion moves in cycles that are based on the collective social mood of the population and is usually looked at as a social agreement.

On the other hand, Style is YOU. It's a perfect representation of yourself and who you are. Style is an extension of your attitude, personality, and instinct. Style is not material. It's a form of expression- a statement, and it's in the choices you make. Clothes are just one way of expressing style.

Fashion fades but Style is forever.
