Le Chic

There are many ways to express ourselves; our principles, our feelings, our interests, etc. One well-known way is through our clothing.

For me, ״fashion” is a passing thing; it is driven by trends that serve the control of society over the individual.

״Chic”, on the other hand, can be seen as a fingerprint, and as such, may serve as the individual's unofficial and primary spokesperson for many years, or even a lifetime.

Chic equals Minimalism

Full disclosure - I only own about 40 pieces of clothing that cover all seasons, parts of the day, and my needs.

Minimalism is a key part and my strong recommendation for finding your personal style, your ‘Chic’.
