Fashion Fades Style is Eternal -Yves St Laurent
” Fashion Fades, Style is Eternal’ This well known quote by Yves St Laurent, one of the most celebrated and influential designers of the last 20 years, is so true. You don’t need to be fashionable to be stylish and being fashionable certainly doesn’t mean that you are stylish. Real style is timeless and that is precisely why pieces by key designers like Yves St Laurent are often worth as much and more many years after they were first designed and constructed.
This quote is a great way to explain why you can get such a stylish look by swapping and buying second hand clothes. But it is not just designer clothes like those by Yves St Laurent that are timelessly stylish, there are also clothes made more recently by high street shops that can be considered timeless and classic. The best vintage and second hand clothing is carefully picked out by a process of stylish natural selection. Usually, it is the most stylish and quality pieces of clothing that stand the test of time. The pieces that were only desirable in the first place because they were the latest fashion are more than likely to fall by the wayside.
