Trends come and go but true style doesn’t fade away. Style is a form of self expression, it’s about communicating who we are or want to be. It is so fun and exciting to experiment with our look during the process and discover what we really like, I think the key is finding what suits us and being happy in our own skin, this rocks any look.
We are influenced by everything around us and stimulated by others, book and movie characters, artists, etc. nowadays it’s so common to hire a stylist to help with one’s appearance and the result can be incredible but of course, this isn’t true style.
I admire the men and women who have inspired us over the decades, their originality and confidence to carry off whatever they wear and make it work.
These are the ones I genuinely love, look up to and make my Top 13 True Style Icons.
