Style Icon: Karl Lagerfeld Catwalk Fashion Fall 2010

Latex & leather is universally used and reused on film and runway... Lagerfeld has daring & innovative use of the material throughout his iconic collections including his 2010 Fall collection.

The latex headbands and leather leggings by Karl Lagerfeld adorned the powerful models walking the runway attracting men & women alike with their sexy black outfits, streamlined to clearly accentuated their bodies. As always Karl’s pairings – pants, skirts, dresses and coats – were impressive.

Would you wear it well?

Style Icon: Coco Chanel

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

~ Coco Chanel

A career that spanned decades and remarkably one of the first women to succeed at the helm of her own legacy, Coco Chanel created timeless fashions with suits, hats and little black dresses that are still iconic and influential in our culture today. Coco loved designing dresses and clothing that became an empire. Despite the simple fact a man had backed her start, Chanel remained in control and maintained all desicions in her money & business.

Here's are a few examples Chanel...

Style Icon: Kim Gordon

The 90's brought a no nonsense brand of clothing that spoke more personally to a generation. Known as X-Girl, the short-lived mid-'90s fashion line, perfectly captured a certain era of New York; a time when calling yourself a hipster or an indie band actually had some significance. 

If you've never heard of X-Girl, you're in store for a history lesson.  In 1993, Kim Gordon, the bassist from Sonic Youth, and stylist Daisy von Furth founded the line as an offshoot to the LA men's-only streetwear brand X-Large. X-Girl was a more fitted, cleaner answer to the baggy, skateboard-influenced fashions that X-Large made.

The original line was comprised of fitted-but-not-tight tees, A-line dresses, and mini-skirts; some skater pants were also in the era-appropiate mix. However, in 1998 X-Girl was sold to a company in Japan, and only available in Japan. As of recent it's still available in its retro nineties-inspired fabulousness online.  (-glamour) for more see http://www.x-girl.jp

Do you remember X-Girl? Would you wear it?

Style Icon: Armani Privè Fall Couture 2008

Pearls are an excellent accessory and it's best to cross your body with the excellent lines of great couture than with anything else. Armani makes both use of pearls and crisscrossing X-lines in his 2008 Fall Privè Couture Collection. 

Do you enjoy using pearls as an accessory?
