Uma Thurman explains the difference between fashion and style

So you thought style and fashion were the same thing did you? Well, all you have to do is look up the two words in the  dictionary and you’ll see for yourself that style and fashion are not definitively synonymous.

Here’s how actress Uma Thurman explains the difference:

“Fashion is the machine that drives the business. Style, on the other hand, is an unconscious gift that money can’t buy. It’s being comfortable not only in your clothes but in your own skin. I’ve always admired how European women have such effortless style, as though they’ve been culturally raised to wear clothes gracefully and effortlessly. There’s something wrong about trying too hard to be fashionable. When people are too ‘outfitted,’ it comes across as self-conscious.”
