So Exactly What is The Age of Elegance?

At the moment, its an online magazine, created entirely by a teenage girl. I have had such a fascination with history, from the first time I watched Gone With The Wind at the age of four. There was always something magical to me about the days when women wore elegant gowns, and evenings were spent attending elaborate soirees. Unfortunately, running around in a hoopskirt nowadays will get you some pretty strange looks. So I am forced to show my love of antiquity in other ways. So I created The Age of Elegance. Because although you may not notice it, Elegance from the past is all around us. (Empire waists are nothing new to the fashion world!) This magazine is Old-fashion-meets-Modern. Its all about retaining the class of the old days, because elegance isnt something you just put on with your evening gown!Love, Natalie EleganceNatalie@aol.com
