“Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”
Anna Wintour (1949) English editor-in-chief of American Vogue
“You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.”
Writers at Work interview (1963)

Everybody knows it's a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself — or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.
