CWhat are femininity and elegance? Writers, philosophers, poets, designers, actresses over the years have tried to define them with aphorisms that tell the complexity of women. In fact femininity and elegance are not limited to external aspect but are also strongly linked to interiority, to feel good with themselves and to find the right balance.
Femininity and elegance, when they are internal dowry
“Beauty begins when you decide to be yourself” was used to saying Coco Chanel. The famous French stylist, in fact, used to reiterate that the real elegance and female beauty was not in the clothes: or rather, as he often said, a class woman must never leave the house without socks and hat. But, separate clothing, True female beauty begins with her own person and really being herself, without fictions or other. A concept that the couturier has also emphasized in another aphorism: “Elegance is when the interior is as beautiful as the outside” thus underlining The importance not only of the external aspect but also of the inner aspect of being interesting and pleasant women.
A concept that, in a more courtly way, has also expressed Francis Scott Fitzgerald When he said that “beauty is the light in the soul of a woman” or again Audrey Hepburn: The famous actress has in fact declared in an interview that “the beauty of a woman is not in her clothes, nor in the way she combed or makeup. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because they are the door of her heart, the place where love lies ». Beauty, understood as femininity, is therefore for many personalities a feature that arises from within and who is fueled by the personal interests of every woman.
When beauty and elegance tell their life
A concept, that of femininity as a sum of the complexity of a person, who also embraces his own experience: as well as Anna Magnani She used to not get the wrinkles from make -ups on cinematographic sets because she has always loved that the signs of the time would see everyone on her face, the same actress has repeatedly declared that “I never care about what they seem, how the others see me. So I am like my life: my hopes, my disappointments, my joys and my unhappiness have made me. They are without reservations and without hypocrisy “showing that true beauty, not only feminine, is not to show themselves how others want to see each other but show themselves for what you really are. A very strong message, especially if it is carried out by an actress, Always at the center of the attention of the world and very careful how they appear outside.
And, always quoting Fitzgerald, the writer once wrote that “he was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. It was beautiful, as he thought. It was beautiful, for the glow in his eyes when he spoke of something he loved. It was beautiful, for his ability to make other people smile, even if he was sad. No, it was not beautiful for something as temporary as its appearance. It was beautiful, deep in his soul. She is beautiful », because by enhancing female beauty as an end in itself it is absolutely not interesting.
Femininity is also strength
“Women have always surprised me: they are strong, they have hope in the heart and in the future” said Monica Vitti underlining the great strength of women. A concept also reiterated by Margaret Thatcher«If you want something to be said, ask a man. If you want something to be done, ask a woman »who has always highlighted how women, in addition to their beauty and elegance, They have always been very practical and concrete. Even if they have always had to demonstrate their skills more than men, as Ginger Rogers said several times: “On the scene I did everything that Fred Astaire did, and moreover I did it backwards and on high heels”. Not only elegance, but also strength and determination.
