“Style is the answer to everything,
A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing,
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it,
To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art.” — Charles Bukowski
According to Merriam-Webster, dogma is defined as an established opinion: a belief or body of beliefs concerning faith or morals laid down by a church.
Style, in the context of fashion, movement, writing, speaking, and art, reflects the architecture of identity. Personal style is used as both a sedative and stimulant, depending on the autonomy of the person. All this being said, Style is an extension of freedom and, in some ways, a tool. This should not be confused with modesty and markers of virtue, class, and attention-seeking behaviors.
Still, true style is presenting in a way that lays you bare. Everything becomes you.
You can quote me on that. The charisma of style transcends the status quo, whether the person is beautiful or full of a gal. Charisma as the art of saying the silent part out loud with no spare words. Truth is all I want to see; I expect the same from others. The freedom to speak the truth or exhibit it is inherently attractive because it is elusive. You can be completely naked and still be covered in the scum of dishonesty; isn’t that funny? A person with style can be completely nude in a t-shirt and jeans, a visible lace, or a misplaced strand of hair.
