In pursuit of elegance

It seems a very fascinating book and full of ideas to be used in many life aspects. The elegance concept and the quote less is more makes me remind about fashion and the new trend of the interior designs for apartments. Nowadays the style is so simple but so elegant and the home is spacious and full of light.

One night I was watching the movie for the Coco Channel Life and in the end of it there was the first fashion parade of her. Every dress had only two colors, black and white and was so simple but in the same time so beautiful and so stylish. It continue to be even today as one of the most elegant style in the fashion world. 

Even in our daily life the simplest things are more stylish than the complicated ones. More you add and more complicated it becomes. There are organizations that create new departments based on the plan of facilitating the processes, increasing so the costs, and adding hierarchy, but in the end the benefit is 0, according to me. I love the idea of no human resources department or no hierarchy in the corporate, it is just great and seductive. Meanwhile here there are companies that you should call the boss, Mr/Mrs or you should leave an appointment to his/her assistant in order to talk to him/her, making so complex a simple thing. 

I would like to finish this post with a quote of Coco Channel. "Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future."

  1. Hi Glenda,

    Nice review and just to add to your statement: Simplicity is the best...take it simple, make it simple and everybody will love it.
    Actually, nowadays there is a tendency to try to make things complicated but in the end even the results get complicated to be reached.

  2. Hi Glenda,
    I liked your comment regarding modern minimal style and the elegance it brings to apartments. It is a nice example of the author's point of view in the book. I liked your focus on simplicity,it is something that we miss in our lives and don't we always say in Albanian that beauty lies in simplicity, a simple message itself that we tend to forget over complicating things.
