What's your definition of a style icon and who is yours

[cocolepew]

On Mary Queen of Shops last week she was asking girls in a bar who their icon was. Nearly all said V Beckham. Made me weep.

Ugh V Beckham, no style at all....none.

Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O

My college friend Hannah.

don't have one

but it def wouldn't be VB

Does you mean you dress like them, or you just like the way they dressed?

Anna Piaggi
Isabella Blow
Elizabeth Frink with her crazy brillo hair.

I don't think I spelt their names correctly.

They weren't styled, didn't employ people to dressed them, they were probably as nuts as monkeys on mushrooms but they wore crazy clothes so hilariously well.

I do like a proper eccentric me.

VB- hahahahahahah!

look at EF here- swoon

You can keep your Mary Portas and Alex Currans

Helena Bonham Carter.

ah yes... I saw that Mary Queen of Shops episode too. You need to take into consideration that she was asking the question to Doncaster girls.

(I'm a yorkshire lass myself so allowed to say that)

BUT do you just like they way they dress or do you dress similar? (That was a general question, not shouting at you Minky)

Jesus I had no idea Hinge and Bracket had reformed

bet lynch

BUT DO YOU DRESS THE SAME OR JUST ADMIRE THEIR STYLE

Mummy from the original Topsy & Tim books

You know MrsB I'm goign to have to go nd find some of the books in the pit that is dss room now.

Coc I have been known to wear a jaunty hat every now and then

the really early 50s ones where she wears Dior-New-Look full-skirted dresses and a little hat

and gloves

I love gloves

obv i don't dress like her though, I wear jeans and ballet flats like normal people

Very much admire the way Cate Blanchett dresses and also like Helena Christensen's style but I don't dress like either.

for motherinferior

Got to love her though.

Isabella Rossellini

I like that chaotic look. And she is also very beautiful, of course.

mine

Good one coco.

And the lovelyDoris

I've always thought Chrissie Hynde has style too - in that rock chick kind of way. Won't be copying that tie though.
