For instance, the idea of flamboyance can transcend what is customarily glanced
upon first viewing. John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Pierpaolo Piccioli
might be exemplars of “outré” fashion, but beyond the outlandish flourishes lie an
understanding of simplicity and a respect for it. Designers have always been drawn
to the contrast between hard and soft, light and dark, masculine and feminine, but
this duality should not be interpreted based on superficial dichotomies. Duality
plays an even more crucial role in how fashion is interpreted on a more personal
scale, like how "Quiet Luxury" was antithetical to "Personal Style" — the common
denominator between these two explosive trends in the past year is an individualistic allegiance to either, if not both — but who said it has to be mutually exclusive?
