It's all about style, not size, age or economic status, said Gayla Bentley. She points to pieces like basic black which, with a switch of shoes and accessories—say, Chanel sneakers for daytime or slingbacks and pearls for evening—can fit into any crowd.

But Gayla's emphasis on personal style goes way beyond just the basics. In developing her own brand of timeless chic she's broken a few so-called fashion rules along the way, such as wearing white jackets and cashmere year-round or pairing a denim jacket with a silk skirt.

Gayla·Bentley談到所有這一切都是關于風格，跟尺碼，年齡或者經濟地位完全沒有關系。她指出這種風格像基本的黑色，鞋和各種配件的搭配組合。比如在白天穿著夏奈爾的運動鞋而晚間穿露根女鞋佩戴珍珠，這通常也適用于其他人群。

但Gayla強調的個人風格和基礎是背離的。在發展自己的永恒品牌時她在前進的道路上打破了一些所謂的時尚定律，如穿著白色夾克和羊絨粗斜紋棉布夾克配絲綢裙子。
