On Good Taste
10 years ago by
Fashion and good taste are made with a little bit of bad taste.
Somebody who looks totally perfect would be a little boring.
-Inès de la Fressange, on Dressing for Yourself and Why Bad Fashion Is a Good Thing in The New York Times
Definitely something to keep in mind! Lovely. And kinda soothes away the fashion faux-pas that we all make every now and then :)
to have great style you need to be a little transgressive. at least a little! :)

A ce sujet la formule de Bourdieu est intéressante: “le bon goût n’est que le dégoût du goût des autres”.
Très juste ! Il est fort ce Bourdieu !!

Er…I don’t think most of us need worry about being too perfect! Rather the opposite. So this advice is wasted on the 98% of people I see in the street who look perfectly awful.
Lovely!!

Absolutely true. That is why I really love the saying: “Just the right amount of wrong”. Hmmmm…. Which design campaign did that line come from again? Genius!
I adore Ines, but the first sentence was definitely inspired by Diana Vreeland’s “bad taste is like a splash of paprika” quote. :)

Quite true, but it depends… people who have good taste don’t have a really bad taste…
