Fashion Icon.
Take on a new persona..
Become an Icon, by taking inspiration from the most fascinating fashion Icons of the 20th Century, the from the 20's to the Now, Beautiful powerful women have shaped fashion for the world, these are the women we all looked up to and wished to be..
1920's
Coco Chanel is possibly the most famous woman in fashion history, she started the iconic fashion, Chanel.. Coco Chanel was simply elegant and the epitome of class
Her quote,'take one thing off before you leave the house', is the mantra of the minimalists in the fashion world. Get her look, think classic, simple structured pieces, monochromatic, and strings of pearls.. to get more inspiration on this amazing era, my other favourite roaring 20's icons are Greta Garbo and Louise Brooks.
1940's
Katherine Hepburn was Iconic in more ways than one, a talented actress and fashion star, she was one of the first women to start the masculine feminine look. Her style was tailored suits and trousers, she had incredible cheek bones and always looked immaculate.. She was a wearer of high waisted flared trousers paired with button up blouses, her style was masculine tailoring but feminine hints..
1950's
Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, were icons of the fifties and were so very different, unique styling that I couldn't bear to only mention one, Marilyn was the curvy, sex kitten bombshell and Audrey was the sophisticated petite fashion icon.
Audrey made over sized sunglasses and the lbd on the map, she was classic, immaculate and luxurious yet simple, modern day Audrey Hepburn, Victoria Beckham takes inspiration.
Marilyn Monroe had the body and shape that brought the world to their knees, she oozed sex appeal in bikinis, body con dresses, Capri pants and crop tops, shes inspired modern day bombshells such as Scarlett Johannson.
1960'sThe swinging sixties brought fashion to the masses, Twiggy, comes straight to mind, one of the very first supermodels ever, she was a sixties icon. Twiggy had beautiful Bambi like eyes, a slick cropped hair do and legs that went forever. Twiggys look was mini shift dresses, mini skirts (very mini!) She was the fashion queen of mod and is an inspiration to many women, as is Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol's muse, heavy black eyeliner eyes and a free love mod look.. it looks as though I am not the only one influenced by these sixties icon, actress Michelle Williams dresses like icons too!
Stay tuned for 70's, 80's, 90's and Modern Icons..
