Who Is Your Fashion & Style Icon?

From post #86
I've thought really hard trying to determine who my real style/fashion icons are as I tend to feel very affected by people who actually create style rather than carry it for the most part..

That Black Flag shirt with the ethnic stuff - where is that editorial from? It's very cool! I love random mixings.
 
pete doherty, hedi slimane, kate moss and her current boyfriend, liam gallagher, the beatles, nick valensi/the strokes
 
I generally get inspired by particular images more than people. Tamara de Lempicka paintings, or enduring ad campaigns [e.g. Chanel, Keira, bowler hat & white shirt] where you don't necessarily need to copy the clothes to channel something of the spirit involved... And almost every beautiful/visually arresting film I see has some effect on my style, whether for a day or for a year. But I guess long-term style icons would include Chrissie Hynde, Anna Karina, Daphne Guinness, Erin O'Connor, and Kate Moss before she settled into her current style [which looks pleasant on her but isn't at all inspiring].

I get inspired by movies like Bright Young Things, Gosford Park, most Audrey Hepburn movies, Blow Up, Dr Zhivago, Almost famous, Blade Runner, Strange Days, All About Eve... er.. the Batman film with Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman in it :smile: I'm not a fan of Eva Green's real-life personal style, but every movie she makes ends up inspiring me, from her amazing French style in the Dreamers and that stunning eye-makeup in Kingdom of Heaven, to the amazing, elegant severity she had in Casino Royale.
 
I dont have an icon persay that I model after, but I think Johnny Depp has that 'I can pull off anything' style, which I try to do as well (not nearly as successfully though ha!)
 
Nicole Richie
Nicky Hilton
Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl
Penelope and Monica Cruz
 
Keira Knightley
Victoria Beckham
The Olsen Twins sometimes (sometimes they can look like true homeless, and in which I like to call rich trash)
Chinese, Korean and Japanese girls
I have so many more, but those are the only ones I can think of right now.
 
Uh, my major fashion influences actually come from the 60s and a part also is from the 70s.

My absolutely greatest fashion icon is Anita Pallenberg!! She's gorgeous and I adore her style and her whole looks. Best and very uniquely dressed woman even to this day! Love the way she combines things, with all these fantastic belts, shoes, and, for me as an absoluet hat-freak this is very important, her hats! My other passion is scarves, so I love it how she kinda involves them into her outfits.
Anotherone that has a nice impact on me is young Marianne Faithfull's looks. She dresses really cool and always looked so goooooood back then with what she wore and all that.
And then there's a third factor in my styling and that's, much to the dismay of my parents *lol*, Uschi Obermeier. Yes, a bit Uschi's in my wardrobe as well. She always dressed very nice and looked good.

Well, in fact, these are the only 3 that have most influence on my habits in clothes and shoes shopping, the way I combine things and all that.
Oh, I fotgot, I also have 2 male contributors to my style: Johnny Depp and Keith Richards.
Love the hat-scarves-(coat)- thing they both have. And their accessoires! I'm a huge fan of necklaces, braceletts and, best thign ever, rings!!

That's that then. I don't have anyone else that influences me in what I wear and how I wear it. No Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Olsen Twins, etc.
The closest might be Kate Moss, I like her style. Don't know If you could say I'm influenced by it, though.

You know, I think the problem nowadays is that wherever you look, all people look the same.
I mean, when goimng shopping I'm always shocked to see every 2nd girl out on the streets is wearing...whatever.....silver shoes, or anything. Everybody looks the same and I hate it and that's why I always prefer to rather pick things that are a bit more "special." Like Anita has always done. She knows what she liked and that's what she wears. And it's the same for me.

Anita stiil rules! *gg*

I :heart: her too ... I would love to have one of her paintings and build a room around it, but I'm afraid I'll have to settle for a print ...
 
Aha I remember now who I was trying to think of Edie Sedgwick and Audrey Hepburn. Edie for sure. Ever since I saw Factory Girl I hate Andy Warhol now, love his art, but him no.
 
Ashley Olsen, Emmanuelle Alt, Chloë Sevigny, Geraldine Saglio, Anna Dello Russo, Melanie Hunyh, Carine Roitfeld.. just to name a few

models:
Kate Moss
Natasha Poly
Erin Wasson
Gisele Bundchen

Actresses:
Angelina Jolie
Jessica Biel
Ashley Olsen
Penelope Cruz
Megan Fox
