Huffington Post brings us quotes from a recent interview with Stefano Pilati Yves Saint Laurent creative director in which he tells Vice magazine that "it’s not easy to find elegant women."
Pilati says in part of the dialogue:
But seriously, it’s not easy to find elegant women. There are a few, the majority of whom are old – and there are one or maybe two in the world who created a new style when they were young. Today when I go to New York and survey art and fashion, I see smart women and the level is high. But there’s a difference between this and saying a woman is elegant.
Pilati further explains what he means by "elegance."
My idea of elegance – and this refers to women as well as men – is that someone is elegant when he or she shows a good knowledge of what fits them, where you can find naturalness and self-esteem. Not showing off. Elegance is the idea of showing an optimistic depiction of oneself, and to lose oneself in the frivolity of style and fashion. Nowadays nobody gives a shit about being elegant, or chic.
Words I live by! You can read the entire interview with Pilati by scooting over to vice.com for some very spot on fashion and living thoughts.
