"Style is having the courage of one's choices and the courage to say no. It's good taste and culture.”
— Giorgio Armani
The inspiration for his column came about many vintages ago when several dear clients suggested The Gardener should in fashionista’s style note down and make accessible some of her ideas on trends, timeless fashion, and ageing well. They thought the storyteller needed a ‘forum’, while they desired a ‘piazza’ to revisit, refresh, and update. So, let’s begin. Personal style, elegance and classic films never go out of fashion, and they are also a wonderful way to ease into deeply personal conversations, such as those had in therapy. The introductory installment is titled, ‘Giorgio Armani: Timeless Elegance Served Brainy’. News of his death, just several days after his 91st birthday, came as a shock. It wasn’t because The Gardener was a dedicated follower; it was because fashion’s King of Words who provided so many memorable lines, would never utter another. Discover the five Armani principles that can change your life.
