Generally, when something is considered to be minimal it is thought of as understated, simple and less than extraordinary. However, after living in Paris for almost two years now, I have discovered that multicolored angora sweaters with oversized studs, embellished pleather leggings, and platform embroidered shoes are a little too Spice Girl and not enough Parisian Girl. Moral of the story: less is more. And the only place where I have found more for less in Paris is at the H&M owned COS, an affordable approach to high fashion located in the very trendy Marais.
This store has changed my style from throwing on whatver I own to taking a more selective and clean-line approach to fashion. Unfortunately, North Americans will have to travel to Europe to get their hands on the line but it makes it just that much more “international.”
I think it’s time for minimalism to become mandatory, don't you? Below are some of my favouite looks from COS’S Autumn/Winter 2010 collection enjoy:
