4: What's your favorite thing about Fashion and Style
Wow... where do I even start... Fashion is fascinating, it's ART! I know it's been
said over and over but it really is art, especially if you look at couture or even
some of the prêt-à-porter collections, there's such great attention to silhouette,
drape, colour & texture. Style gives us the opportunity to be as expressive as
