“ FASHION: a statement of
INDIVIDUALITY Why is dressing well important? How does our style define how we feel about ourselves and how the world sees us? Here, set against a striking palette of our exquisite Spring ‘14 offerings, some of the top writers, thinkers and style makers of the ages, share their words on what fashion means in our lives. As you will see, in the timeless tradition of the world’s great couturiers, our stellar roster of designers present a season that is more than quotation-worthy. We look forward to inspiring your own sentiments this season! - The Mitchell Family Shown on front cover: RALPH LAU R EN BLAC K L AB E L
