See Below Explanation: Hi. I think you probably could keep it in English, the fashion world being international. If you do decide to put it into French, I\'d have two suggestions, both fairly literal, but seem to work. \"Le moins vaut le plus\" \"Le minimum vaut le maximum\" or else a tad more \"stylish\" could be \"Le mini vaut le maxi\" Just some thoughts. Regards, Deb |

you could indeed leave it as such Explanation: You could indeed leave it as such: Less is more. If you insist on the translation: I've seen it as 'Moins est plus' in more or less the same context. An example is shown at: www.geocities.com/~jlhagan/french/ideas.html |

less is more Explanation: Just a note: I thought Mies came up with this, but Bartlett\'s says it was Robert Browning. Best left in English in my opinion. |
