Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction.[citation needed] Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection.[citation needed]

The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being.[citation needed] Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."[1] In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence.[citation needed] A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with personal meaning.[citation needed]

The classical Greek adjective for "beautiful" was ??????, kallos. The Koine Greek word for beautiful was ??????, horaios,[2] an adjective etymologically coming from the word ???, hora, meaning "hour." In Koine Greek, beauty was thus associated with "being of one's hour."

A ripe fruit (of its time) was considered beautiful, whereas a young woman trying to appear older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be considered beautiful. In Attic Greek, horaios had many meanings, including "youthful" and "ripe old age.

According to chief executive Joseph Wan, the UK based department store chain is on the lookout for investments. Speaking in London last week, Wan suggested these acquisitions would help the retailer increase their turnover for a potential listing.

With a UK turnover currently standing at GBP 230m, Wan was confident to note Harvey Nichols would not be considering small acquisitions, and instead would favour well known brands and high-end luxury retailers.

The company will also continue with its organic growth strategy, and plans to open two stores in Hong Kong this winter and another in Kuwait for 2012.
