„Clothes matter: we care abut what we wear, and not caring is usually a sign of depression, madness or the resignation to our imminent death.<\/p>\n

I don’t believe people who tell me that they are not interested in clothes or what they wear. I think they mean that they are not interested in fashion, and believe that following the trends is a waste of time. They look for comfort and a reasonable fit in the clothes they buy and that will do. But such an attitude lies on the surface. There is something shallow about asserting you don’t care about what you look like. Because in your heart of hearts you know it’s not true.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

People want to look the best they can. They may not know how to find the clothes that fulfil this, they may regard th effort of doing so too daunting, they might be frightened of the necessary expense, they might argue that they have no occasion to wear such garments, or that they don’t go with their personalities. But it is simply untrue to say that if you take the average woman of average height and weight and income and wave a magic wand, fairy-godmother-style, and put her in a dress that makes her look beautiful, she will react with indifference. Only if she is clinically depressed. This average woman looks in the mirror and sees herself transformed. Sometimes it’s hard to live up to this person: the divide between the inside of your head with its private spaces, and how you are seen by others can be intimidating. But not because you don’t care. You care. We care about what we wear.”<\/p>\n

Frumoasa introducere si explicatie, cuvinte care ma pun pe ganduri in weekendul asta ploios pe care il petrec acasa. Ma pun pe ganduri dupa experienta intalnirii a cateva zeci de femei, de toate varstele, la cursurile din tara. In ciuda tuturor diferentelor dintre ele, un lucru aveau in comun: dorinta de a fi mai frumoase cu ajutorul vesmintelor si certitudinea ca vor descoperi cum sa faca acest lucru impreuna cu mine.<\/p>\n

Oh well, ce invitatie minunata de a fi parte din viata cuiva, nu-i asa… \ud83d\ude42 Le multumesc asadar acestor fete si femei…\u00a0 iar pe restul (nehotarate, curioase, sfioase, nestiutoare) le astept la ultimele doua cursuri din vara aceasta, la Brasov (in 26-27 mai) si Sibiu (2 si 3 iunie<\/strong>). Just send me an email.<\/p>\n
