This good looking specimen of andrology belongs to me. His name is Emperor Andy, and his excellency has proposed the following group of questions for our discussion on Cardigan Empire today:

• What is your favorite thing to hear from your husband/boyfriend regarding your outfit?
• How do you know if he like it?
• How do you know if he hates it?
• How important is it for you to dress the way he likes?

Chanel’s legend has cut contours into my own styling theory. Below are three lines which consistently run through my fashion philosophy:

1. “Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.”
Fashion should be built around the beauty of a woman’s body. In a day when women were padded, corseted, and confined, CC designed her dresses to showcase rather than alter.

2. “Elegance is refusal.”
Shake your lovely head at: garish accessorization, trends ill suited to your essence, chintzy extravagance, ostentatious consumption. Discriminate and radiate, the truly stylish lady knows when to say “no thankyou.”

3. “A women who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.”
Embrace today. Expect the day to be worthy of small touches of prettiness. Gift beauty to yourself and those around you. If you don’t hold now, you’ll never own tomorrow.
