STYLE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

“STYLE”………Do you have style?….Who has style ????                                                       I think style is a very private thing, where you don’t depend on other peoples opinions, when you find your own way, your own combinations and your own personality. There are 2 people who i can take as an example, Tavi Gevinson, a young 15 year old girl, and face behind the star blog https://www.thestylerookie.com/ and online magazine https://rookiemag.com/ and the poet, novelist and short story writer Charles Bukowski who has the perfect explanation for STYLE:

 

 

“Style is the answer to everything.

A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it
To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art

Bullfighting can be an art
Boxing can be an art
Loving can be an art
Opening a can of sardines can be an art

Not many have style
Not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men,
although not many dogs have style.
Cats have it with abundance.

When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun,
that was style.
Or sometimes people give you style
Joan of Arc had style
John the Baptist
Jesus
Socrates
Caesar
García Lorca.

I have met men in jail with style.
I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water,
or you, naked, walking out of the bathroom without seeing me.”

Tavi Gevinson is a girl with style, we all think so…What she thinks about all this, she told  us last week in her teen TED talk “STILL FIGURING IT OUT”
