Chapter III · The Wardrobe
Fewer, better things.
A wardrobe is not a collection. It is a small, well-kept estate of garments that know one another.

The Governing Principles
I
Nothing loud
No logos, no exclamations. If a garment introduces itself before you do, it does not belong.
II
Everything considered
Cloth before colour, cut before cloth. A thing is chosen for how it will age, not how it photographs.
III
Worn exactly right
The finest coat worn carelessly is merely expensive. Velmora composes; you simply arrive.
