These little secrets of style makeoverThe famous women of style
Do you think that re-inventing yourself and turning yourself into the trend setter is an illusion or a marketing trick? Many people would think so. However, every famous style icon used to be a normal ordinary person, until the time she came to the understanding, and even more importantly – the acceptance of her own body/personality type. “I never really felt pretty, bright or socially adept.” - Grace Kelly Surprisingly, almost every star/celebrity woman felt the same. Learning to forgive yourself for the small flaws, accepting them, turning them into your own unique advantage - requires understanding of the importance of details, love for observation and a great deal of the sense of humor. Examples? Princess Diana, Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly, Coco Chanel – the women who fascinated the world. Finding out more about your personality and body type is the principal secret of being well dressed. Types are vastly different. Looks should correspond to the way of life, occupation, your body type and of course - your loves. Using the style expert can often help, if the expert is well qualified. Here is the example. In her autobiography “Shocking Life” Elsa Schiaparelli, the great fashion designer, gave the example of importance of match between the personality and style: “A thin girl who seemed ugly and dowdy once sat in the corner of my salon. I did not know her, but she interested me, and I offered to help her choose her clothes. She allowed me to do as I thought best, now and again making a remark in a sharp, husky voice. She went out looking strikingly beautiful. Not long afterwards I read an interview she gave in America. She said that this transformation in my showroom had been the starting-point of a wonderful job. Her name? Katharine Hepburn.” Style makeover tip number 2. Learn more about fashion and style, but learn from the best. You do not have to follow the fashion. But if you want to perfect your style, you have to have a role model (s) and learn the best from her. Coco Chanel became famous for creating her ever-lasting style that contradicted fashions of her time. However, she was also known for her love of watching people, learning the best from them and rejecting what she found unacceptable. She quickly noticed that real chic was in the behavior and manners, not in wearing elegant dress. Watching aristocratic ladies, their “ravishing duplicity”, their stylish manners, their knowledge of how to enter a room at the right moment and when to leave, would become her own learning point.
