Something I always look for in an outfit is to have a standout piece.
Interpretation
A standout piece in an outfit draws attention and makes a statement.
Coco Rocha emphasizes the importance of having a distinctive element in one's clothing that catches the eye and expresses individuality. This 'standout piece' can be anything from a bold accessory to a unique garment that enhances the overall look and showcases personal style.
In practice
This quote can be used during a fashion seminar to emphasize personal expression through clothing.
My wedding dress is a piece of art that I'll treasure forever. It was designed and created by Zac Posen. I gave him only the tiniest bit of direction when he started, and the end product was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.

Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.
Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.
They (fashion editors) have always been our secret weapon.
