This is from an interview of a fashion designer.
The question to him is:
"Usted ha dicho una frase tan redonda como acertada: «vestirse bien es un acto de gratitud hacia uno mismo y de educación hacia los demás». ¿Podría explicarlo?"
I've found lots of sites with the expression "frase redonda" in them, but I'm not sure exactly what it is: a cliche, slogan, proverb...
Can anyone help clear this up for me?
