There has been much discussion in my niche minimalist community about incorporating maximalism into a traditionally minimalist style. Minimalism, in its truest form, can be deemed overly simple, bare, and perhaps even often boring. However, I believe a basic and considered personal style doesn’t have to be a snooze fest.
I have worked in fashion for over a decade, but I still struggle to describe my style. The word "minimalism" tends to conjure sterile or otherwise uninspired associations, which have never quite felt like me. I lean towards it because it strips bare certain elements, free from the chaos of life. Maximalism, on the other hand, celebrates individuality. Together, they create a beautiful counterbalance: quiet simplicity infused with elegant personality.
