The difference between style and fashion is quality — #GiorgioArmani. This quote is as relevant to #designing & #building a new #home as it is to the apparel industry

Building a new home requires a considered creative phase. Here, knowledge of the owner’s lifestyle, aspirations, budget & aesthetic preferences are the key

In his quote, #GiorgioArmani firstly differentiates the concepts of '#style' and '#fashion', and secondly, provides the sageness that #quality is the by-product of style over fashion.

#style expresses how intelligent & thoughtful human beings present themselves. It is a way of finding harmony and high #expression. It's reflective of the best human experience-it ,serves as a motivator for us to better ourselves & is a part of a #sustainable world


#fashion is all about trends;is transient & shallow. In 60s & 70s #perth, building designers all jumped on the #spanish bandwagon. They mimicked #haciendas by adding random arches with over-the-top bagged renders- more like kitsch wedding cakes than #spanishculture

Style over Fashion
