Elegance of Simplicity

Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) had a simple style she called 'dépouille', which means 'stripped' or 'bare' in French. In fashion, it means being simple and not too decorated.

Hepburn liked to wear simple black dresses with ballet flats. She picked accessories that added to her look without taking over. Her style was about keeping things simple and not going overboard. 'Dépouille' isn't just a word; it's a philosophy. Even when fashion keeps changing, Hepburn's love for simplicity reminds us that less is often more. Being elegant is not about wearing the most, but making the most of what you wear. And a smile every now and then, ofcourse. Audrey: "The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters."
