Well hello again. It's Rhianwen, this is my first post on here, and i hope this post will give you some inspiration and tell you a little bit about my personal style!
5. Sky Ferreira
I have a lot of love for Sky Ferreira. Her music is great, it can vary from songs such as Red Lips which is more on the grunge side, to very soft and moody, like Everything is Embarrassing. She is extremely pretty, but she has a very grungy edge to her look. She wears black eyeliner around her eyes, slightly smudged, giving her a dark look. She has signature bleach blonde hair and her clothes are always unique, but at the same time in a simple way. One day she can go from an over-sized band t-shirt and the next a mini skirt and crop top. Her style is effortless and definitely inspired by icons of the past such as Debbie Harry. I have a lot of love and respect for this girl, and if you didn't know of her already, I'd suggest you look her up, and her music too!
4. Francoise Hardy
Francoise Hardy is a French singer who was very popular in the music and fashion world in the 60s. I adore her music and I listen to her a lot, but I also love her image. She really did go with the 60s style, but in a very natural way. She wore winged liner but with very little makeup on her face, and her style was always very vertical and relaxed. She often wore rather boyish clothes; t shirts with very little shape, trousers (which were considered boyish at the time), long sleeves, high-necked shirts, and button up shirts, but with one statement piece, such as a fur coat or a trench coat, or a patterned shirt. She had a very slim and boyish figure, and I admire how she embraced it. She had a very fresh 60's style, and also very typical, and she is definitely a huge inspiration to many modern style icons, as her style is completely timeless. Her straight hair and fringe really gave her a young but sophisticated look in my opinion, and I take inspiration from her style all the time. (I would highly recommend a song of hers: 'Le Temps De L'amour' which also appeared in the Wes Anderson film Moonrise Kingdom)
3. Kurt Cobain
Firstly, I do understand that Kurt Cobain was a man. But still, I genuinely do take inspiration from his style. He wore scratchy cardigans, sweatshirts, jumpers, oversized checked shirts, loose levis, and converse, which admittedly is the sort of style I would realistically go for. And hey, how could i forget his signature sunglasses? I love how relaxed and comfortable his style was, and although it was obviously effortless and in some ways careless, I take a lot from his style.
2. Alexa Chung
Just like most teenage girls, I love Alexa Chung. She's pretty, she's intelligent, cultured, and above all, one of the best dressed women around at the moment. She's very inspired by the 60s and is an example of a modern style icon who takes inspiration from Francoise Hardy. She is known as an 'It Girl' to some, and she has recently released a book called 'It' which is a must for any admirer of Alexa, or anyone who is interested in fashion and art. Her style again Is timeless and classy, but also very wearable, boyish at times and comfortable, which I like a lot.
1. Audrey Hepburn
Be prepared to expect Audrey Hepburn to be mentioned at least once in all of my posts. Not only is she my biggest style icon, she is also my favourite actress and a huge inspiration of mine. She was an extremely versatile lady, going from the 50s with a very cute, flouncy and pretty look, with the huge brows and eyes. She always stayed with her designer Hubert de Givenchy, and he seemed to adjust well to her different styles. Her 60s style was very sophisticated and she embraced her tall, slim figure a lot, whereas in the 50s she was to wear clothes to make her seem more 'curvy', as her slim figure was not very 'in' at the time. She was extremely iconic with her 60s cat eye, her hair pinned up above her head and her big sunglasses. I could honestly go on about her forever, but i'm going to leave it here. She was such a beautiful, iconic and elegant woman, and I look up to her a lot.
Thank you for reading!
