Which style icon are you?

It was Jane Birkin who made the Aran jumper famous worldwide. It looks to me like aviator sunglasses also owe her a credit!

Icon is not fashionista.
Of course it is not. An icon has their own style and approach to fashion.
An icon dresses up with confidence and this is where it all starts.
The trend. We owe to the icons these so-called trends. Yes, we do. Thanks to these idols we see their style re-imagined on the catwalk, reproduced in the glossy magazines, then later filtered to the high street as affordable items of desire.
Because of their timeless style pedigree we post via Instagram the photos of young Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Jane Birkin, Anjelica Huston and many more. Why? Just look at the photos I’ve selected below and you’ll understand everything.
Does the concept of a chunky knit, oversized blazer, fisherman’s hat or a pair of flares sound a bit ‘deja vu’? What about ‘le smoking’?  Well, God bless those who invented them and those icons who mastered it to an effortless statement.
And for that I do love fashion, or rather style to be frank.

Anjelica Huston in flares and a shirt with rolled sleeves. An excellent example of what effortless style is.
