Editing Minimalism (section)

=== Cooking ===
Breaking from the complex, hearty dishes established as orthodox ''[[haute cuisine]]'', ''[[nouvelle cuisine]]'' was a culinary movement that consciously drew from minimalism and [[conceptualism]]. It emphasized more basic flavors, careful [[Food presentation|presentation]], and a less involved preparation process. The movement was mainly in vogue during the 1960s and 1970s, after which it once again gave way to more traditional ''haute cuisine'', retroactively titled ''[[cuisine classique]]''. However, the influence of ''nouvelle cuisine'' can still be felt through the techniques it introduced.<ref>Mennel, Stephan.

=== Fashion ===
[[File:Capsule Travel Wardrobe.png|thumb|A minimalist woman's wardrobe]]
The [[capsule wardrobe]] is an example of minimalism in [[fashion]]. Constructed of only a few staple pieces that do not go out of style, and generally dominated by only one or two colors, capsule wardrobes are meant to be light, flexible, and adaptable, and can be paired with seasonal pieces when the situation calls for them.<ref>{{cite web|last=Susie|first=Faux|title=Capsule Wardrobe|url=http://confidencetricks.susiefaux.com/?cat=48|access-date=6 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120104130844/http://confidencetricks.susiefaux.com/?cat=48|archive-date=4 January 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The modern idea of a capsule wardrobe dates back to the 1970s, and is credited to London boutique owner Susie Faux. The concept was further popularized in the next decade by American fashion designer [[Donna Karan]], who designed a seminal collection of capsule workwear pieces in 1985.<ref name="donnakaran">{{cite web|title=Donna Karan|url=http://www.vogue.com/voguepedia/Donna_Karan_%28Brand%29|work=voguepedia|publisher=Vogue|access-date=6 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120414084640/http://www.vogue.com/voguepedia/Donna_Karan_(Brand)|archive-date=14 April 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

To portray [[global warming]] to non-scientists, British climate scientist [[Ed Hawkins (climatologist)|Ed Hawkins]] developed [[warming stripes]] graphics in 2018 that are deliberately devoid of scientific or technical indicia, for ease of understanding by non-scientists.<ref name=Gizmodo_20190617>{{cite news|last=Kahn|first=Brian|author-link=Brian Kahn|title=This Striking Climate Change Visualization Is Now Customizable for Any Place on Earth|url=https://earther.gizmodo.com/this-striking-climate-change-visualization-is-now-custo-1835581866|work=[[Gizmodo]]|date=June 17, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190626030105/https://earther.gizmodo.com/this-striking-climate-change-visualization-is-now-custo-1835581866|archive-date=June 26, 2019|url-status=dead|access-date=July 10, 2019}}</ref> Hawkins explained that "our visual system will do the interpretation of the stripes without us even thinking about it".<ref name=ScienceAlert_20180525>{{cite news |title=This Has Got to Be One of The Most Beautiful And Powerful Climate Change Visuals We've Ever Seen |url=https://www.sciencealert.com/this-has-got-to-be-one-of-the-most-beautiful-and-powerful-climate-change-visuals-we-ve-ever-seen |work=Science Alert |date=May 25, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190628042115/https://www.sciencealert.com/this-has-got-to-be-one-of-the-most-beautiful-and-powerful-climate-change-visuals-we-ve-ever-seen |archive-date=June 28, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Warming stripe graphics resemble [[color field]] paintings, stripping out all distractions and using only color to convey meaning.<ref name=Gizmodo_20180525/> Color field pioneer artist [[Barnett Newman]] said he was "creating images whose reality is self-evident", an ethos that Hawkins is said to have applied to the problem of climate change and leading one commentator to remark that the graphics are "fit for the [[Museum of Modern Art]] or the [[J. Paul Getty Museum|Getty]]."<ref name=Gizmodo_20180525>{{cite news |last=Kahn|first=Brian|author-link=Brian Kahn|title=This Climate Visualization Belongs in a Damn Museum|url=https://earther.gizmodo.com/this-climate-visualization-belongs-in-a-damn-museum-1826307536|work=[[Gizmodo]]|date=May 25, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190619235512/https://earther.gizmodo.com/this-climate-visualization-belongs-in-a-damn-museum-1826307536|archive-date=June 19, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

A [[tempestry]]—a [[portmanteau]] of "temperature" and "tapestry"—is a tapestry using stripes of specific colors of yarn to represent respective temperature ranges.<ref name=FastCompany_20190111/> The tapestries visually represent global warming occurring at given locations.<ref name=FastCompany_20190111>{{cite magazine |last1=Schwab |first1=Katharine |title=Crafting takes a dark turn in the age of climate crisis |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/90290800/crafting-take-a-dark-turn-in-the-age-of-climate-crisis |magazine=Fast Company |date=2019-01-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111170955/https://www.fastcompany.com/90290800/crafting-take-a-dark-turn-in-the-age-of-climate-crisis |archive-date=11 January 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Minimalist lifestyle ===
In a lifestyle adopting minimalism, there is an effort to use materials which are most essential and in quantities that do not exceed certain limits imposed by the user themselves. There have been many terms evolved from the concept, like minimalist decors, minimalist skincare, minimalist style, minimalist accessories, etc. All such terms signify the usage of only essential products in that niche into one's life. This can help one to focus on things that are important in one's life. It can reduce waste. It can also save the time of acquiring the excess materials that may be found unnecessary.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jeon |first=Hannah |date=2020-06-17 |title=A Minimalist Home Can Reduce Stress and Improve Your Well-Being, Experts Say |url=https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/decorating-ideas/a32824185/minimalist-living/ |access-date=2022-06-17 |website=Good Housekeeping |language=en-US |archive-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220624225155/https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/decorating-ideas/a32824185/minimalist-living/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Osborne |first=Eric |date=2023-08-23 |title=A Complete guide on financial minimalism |url=https://www.finmoov.com/a-complete-guide-to-financial-minimalism/ |access-date=2022-06-17 |website=Financial Guide |language=en-US |archive-date=23 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230823063025/https://www.finmoov.com/a-complete-guide-to-financial-minimalism/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
