Editor’s Note “Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.” --Coco Chanel The modern woman is expected to be a superwoman, juggling career, family, and friends, all with the poise and elegance of a ballerina. Although, we may not have the grace of a ballerina (I have been known to walk into the odd wall), a woman should project elegance and style. My most significant fashion influence was my grandmother, who was widely recognized for her grace and style. It is not surprising that with a role model such as this, I was raised to appreciate the importance of appearance and good taste. I have had the opportunity to travel the world, from Europe, the Middle East and the Americas; one universal theme that I gleaned is that elegance is synonymous with femininity.
