A Note
Elegance, far more than just a visual delight, offers a fulfilling and positive way of life. It embodies a glamorous, sophisticated, and considerate way of being, influencing not only how we interact with others but also how we treat ourselves. Elegance enriches our family lives, enhances our roles in communities, and elevates our professional relationships. To embody elegance is to embrace confidence, poise, and a well-put-together persona. The essence of an elegant lifestyle lies in its luxury, specialty, and refinement. It gravitates towards the finer and more cultured tastes in life. For women drawn to these aspects, elegance serves as a unifying term that not only encapsulates their interests but also propels them forward on this journey at an accelerated pace.
Historically, many women practiced elegance diligently. However, with the rise of feminism and gender equality, some of the intrinsic qualities of feminine elegance were overshadowed. In striving for equal footing, we adopted more masculine energy, inadvertently sidelining the refined feminine qualities that were once celebrated and passed down through generations. Today, while much has been achieved in terms of equality, many still operate within this more masculine framework. In doing so, we risk losing the refined grace that our ancestors, these exemplary women of history, cultivated and cherished. This refinement, this art of being a lady, is not just historical heritage but a source of power and beauty that remains relevant and valuable today.
My mission is to guide and enlighten women about our rich heritage in elegance and etiquette. It’s about rediscovering and embracing the feminine qualities that have historically been admired and respected. I aim to encourage a contemporary elegance that intertwines the strength of femininity with the lessons learned from our past.
This new era of elegance does not silence us; rather, it allows us to be strong, empathetic, and ambitious women, while still cherishing the wisdom and beauty handed down by women before us.
