I am not a star chaser I could care less about celebrity gossip. But I admit I have offered up a prayer for a few of the tormented. For me celebrities are “style icons”. The irony is they don’t pick their own clothes they have stylist who spend hours shopping for clothing, shoes and accessories. They are shopping for a “look” which will be worn to a specific event such as the Emmy’s, Grammy’s etc… Fashion is serious business it is the livelihood the celebrities, stylist, designers, hairdressers, manicurist etc. It is an industry where looks translate into cold hard cash.
That’s why magazines are gold mines. They contain the hard work of a fashion design team. Use magazines to their fullest potential and create your own look book. Rip out things that catch your eye, clothing, shoes, accessories and even fragrances you want to try. Keep your book updated and look at it before you shop. Take a tip from Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist and author of “ Style from A to Zoe”, who warns, “ You never want to actually mimic a celebrity”. Get the spirit of the look (and keep it moving).
Collect photographs of two style icons, you are more likely to be attracted to more than one. The look you create will be unique, a combination of both icons. I like Rihanna. I like her punk, unpredictable, 80’s vibe. Her style solves my fashion dilemma - modern woman who wants to cover up and still have fun with fashion. 2nd is Jennifer Aniston her style is clean, classic, with a modern twist. Her secret is proportion and fit.
Take a tip from me and fix your fashion dilemma's with the help of couple good style icons.
