....winner of the Vision Award.Since I believe personal style (the way you choose to dress) and the way you decorate run "neck to neck"--I can know what to expect in a clients closet the minute I walk into their home.
I was in total agreement with the answers Charlotte gave Elle Decor gave to these questions:
ED:How has your aesthetique evolved?
CM: The more you learn, the more you travel, the more you're exposed to, the more clients you work with, the more informed your aesthetic becomes.
ED: What advice do you have for someone starting out in the business?

"Ignorance isn't bliss!" --words worth repeating about many things , huh?
I totally agree with Charlotte, as it applies to my readers and clients. I've vociferously said so in my seminars and in my books. It's all about studying what's all around you--and most importantly educating your eye so that your taste level rises and you let your boundaries expand.
