Vogue US November 2010
On his blog the Sartorialist posed this question - Minimalism: is it sometimes not enough of a good thing? On the contrary, I like to think minimalism is just enough of a good thing. Just as how Coco Chanel told us to take one thing off before you leave the house for risk of over-decorating, so too does minimalism remind us that there can be too much of a good thing. The attitude is to calm down, not work up. The idea is that the best things in life are those that come totally naturally to you - whether that ivory suits or paisley jumpsuits. And the fact of the matter is that that which comes naturally to you is often that which you instinctively never overload on. I could never, ever eat too much fromage d'affinois or too many macarons.
Minimalism is just like that: among other things, knowing exactly when to stop.
