The famous host of “Fashion Sentence” and fashion historian gave a huge amount of advice to women, went through acute problems with figure, age and signs of bad taste. For example, Alexander Vasilyev at one time criticized the habit of women wearing branded sunglasses with huge logos, and not to protect the eyes, but as an ornament – they say it is vulgar and tasteless.
At the same time, the expert considers even the supposedly ideal proportions of 90-60-90 to be something of blasphemy and is sure that a woman’s beauty does not depend on numbers. But clothes play an important role in this matter, which the fashion historian repeated in his book Fashion Formula. Secrets of the past, trends of the present, a look into the future.
Doesn’t that remind you of anything? Yes, yes, these words are similar to the immortal quote of the great Coco Chanel: “When choosing accessories, take off what you put on last.” And of course it’s not just accessories. Alexander Vasiliev looked at the problem of excess on an even larger scale: after all, you can go too far with the height of the heel and the saturation of the palette and the shine of the skin – there are a lot of details in which you can go wrong!
That is why many stylists recommend sticking to noble colors and textures, in which a mistake is a priori impossible. Boots and shoes with kitten heels, matte leather with a soft shine, natural fabrics and shades – all these details in themselves do not allow excess, which means that they are synonymous with the elegance that Alexander Vasilyev talks about.
