Less is More Fashion Rules

Here are the commandments of the die-hard minimalist, the Calvin Klein girl through and through who's no muss, no fuss—and always looks achingly chic.

1. The other brands you'll wear include Narciso Rodriguez, Jil Sander, Zero + Mario Cornejo, The Row , Alexander Wang  ,  Bottega  Veneta , Celine.

2. Your idea of evening wear is a silk spaghetti strap slip dress—please keep the accoutrement away from your body.

3. The Golden Age of Fashion for you will always be the 1990s.

4. The LBD  (Little Black dress ) isn't a staple, it's a way of life.

5. Purity in style is akin to purity of mind and body to you—too much clutter overwhelms your psyche.

6. Your color palette consists of mainly black and white but you'll wear navy if you're feeling bold.

7. Prints? Why would anyone wear prints? They're for walls and young children only.

8. Tailoring is a way of life. All of your clothing fits like it was made for you and only you.

9. You've never met a statement shoe that you've liked.

10. You are partial to slides, mules and pumps that are well designed and simple.

11. Your style icons include  Queen  Rania  from  Jordan, Vanessa Traina, Gwyneth 

Paltrow. Jennifer Aniston, Carine  Roitfeld , Ines de La Fressange, Lauren Santodomingo, but   also  HIA  Editor   in  Chief  Mai  Badr,  and Ashley Olsen.

12. Boho is a bad word.

13. Jewelry, if ever worn, should be delicate, personal and, yes, simple.

14. Your beauty look is unfussy as well—you're all about no makeup makeup, possibly a red lip, wash and dry hair or a loose, low bun.

       15. You've always secretly wondered why you weren't born in Japan—the arguable                 homeland of aesthetic restraint. Your motto is less is more and more is so gauche

Less is More Vs More is More

I  do  consider    Karl   Lagerfeld   forever    young ,  because   age    is  head  matter   ,  and he    is  able  to understand    trends   and    come  up    with   great   concepts     season   over  season   despite    the    tight   times   of fashion    and   8  collection   a  year   only   @  Chanel .  

Winter  16-7  @  Chanel   was  democratic    Front   Row , everyone in her own front row seat, watching models   files, on a NON-set set ,  the   collection   had  the   classic    code   by   Chanel  such  as   tweed  was   not   directional , leaving    to  personal interpretation     on  how    to   wear    it   .

While    so   much  time  is   spent   to  classify the  different   trends   which   keep   coming and going  ,   we  look   at   a  real   woman style  and  we   divide    fashion    between    two  major  categories   “More  is  More “    and     “Less is  More”.

We    could    classify   designers   within   Maximalist  and   Minimalist     but    is   also    true    that    lots    is  done   in  styling ,   so is   always    a  good    idea    to  keep   eyes   open   to   all  the  brands   and    wear    all   with   personal   touch .

Less   is   More
