I believe that the components of style emanate from within: intelligence, character, personality. Clothes do matter, but they cannot give you style.

Dressing is like writing, actually: there are three modes of style in Japanese writing. I can write my name in three different ways. The first way is the classic style of writing. The second one is a lighter style of writing, which is a bit different. The third one is even less formal.

The English style of dress is like the first style of writing, it is very classical. The second style, which is slightly less formal, makes me think of Neapolitan tailoring which was inspired by English dress but took it one step down in order to make it a little less formal. The third style of writing is like fashion and trends. I relate to the first style of writing, I relate to the English dress. I am classic.
