Beauty, Style or fashion –is there any difference?

Beauty, style and fashion. These three words are often muddled up, interchanged and translated to have similar meanings. This, however, could not be any further from the truth...
Style is the product of an individual’s personal flair, it is how we can identify ourselves as individuals and try to separate ourselves from the masses. The brave eccentrics create their own style. They piece together tat and clothing from decades gone whilst incorporating new ideas and audacious shapes, giving themselves an aura of what the French would say ‘Je ne sais quoi.’ These eccentrics are often ridiculed. They stand as a beacon of light and strive to show the world that it’s ok to be unique. Some of these eccentrics become the fashion designers, icons and legends we worship today. It only takes one person who dares to be different to revolutionize the way we see the world. Non-believers will tut, raise an eyebrow and query, ‘Why do you care? Why bother?’

I’m positive these eccentrics would all agree in unison, the sole and collective reason is simple and universal.

Beauty.

Beauty is their inspiration; subjective, untouchable, inconceivable and quintessentially perfect within its own imperfections.
