Style icons

Where do trends come from? Is it from the big design houses like Chanel? Is it high street shops like Topshop? Or is it from those select few who have a talent for putting together an outfit and looking good all the time?



Jackie O

 My money is on the latter. People like Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. People with timeless style. The trends of these icons are always coming back into fashion and they have truly made their mark on history.

But what about today? Who do we class as style icons in 2011?

Victoria Beckham has certainly strived for first place with her sleek look. Always smart and well put together, even when pregnant! She has the perfect accessories for every outfit and at the Royal wedding she joined forces with Louboutin to create a custom pair of heels. The former Spice Girl has come a long way from a LBD days with the band and she now has her own clothing label which all the celebrities love.

Kate Moss is still a huge trendsetter for many. Her rock chic look has all the festival-goers dying to see what she is wearing each year. Her laidback, effortless look makes her a huge candidate for biggest style icon. The model, who is the face of Revlon can make any style work for her but she always looks best when she isn't even trying.



Whitney Port

Whitney Port is one of the hottest trendsetters of the past few years. Since launching her clothing line Whitney Eve she has gone from strength to strength featuring in magazines almost every week. Her girly rock chic look works well for so many people and so they can identify with her. Her mix of smart and effortless shows off her talent for creating new styles and I personally can't wait to see more from her.
