Style Icon: 7 portraits by Helmut Newton

The photography of Helmut Newton has little to no concern with picturing everyday reality. His fashion and portrait photographs that have cemented his global reputation are unsettling, disturbing and controversial. It is through his vision they succeed in provoking and stimulating people to react.

Style Icon: Richard Avedon

Avedon's work in fashion photography took him to legendary heights and made him infamous in design and fashion around the world and ultimately cemented his reputation as a sought after artist. Many of his iconic photos depict some of the most recognizable faces in history; models, actresses and actors, politicians, writers and artists. Almost always he captured a realer more authentic version of each person stripped of the branding society has come to know them for, creating a truer representation of their emotions and relatable expressions.

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: Björk's Homogenic

Looking like a geisha that might be seriously tough instead of being a docile submissive servant, björk covered her 4th studio album as a warrior. Her interpretation was that she would be a warrior that fights with love, not weapons. Designed by the late Alexander McQueen and photographed by Nick Knight the transformation seemed quite powerful and captivating. With nearly 10 kilos of hair upon her head, special contacts & an extreme manicure björk captured a true warrior pose. This iconic image is forever stylish and has spawned both gross imitation & flattery.

Are you familiar with björk?

Enjoy!
Kisses, m.

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? 

Enjoy!
