FASHION RECYCLING

A few years ago, when puma trainers were all the craze, even the less trendy of my friends were sporting the brand. Puma created new models every two months and a my friend's brother was mocking his 6 months - old trainers because they were soooooo outdated...

Being a true follower of fashion without much distance is something one would expect from most celebritites which fame is based on their looks. This could be true of Victoria Beckham but
Victoria - and it costs me saying that from someone whose whizz-bang breasts are constantly on display without a bra- actually displays signs of being a real stylish woman.

Victoria was recently caught wearing identical outfits several times ( notably the Louis Vuitton Outfit as featured on Justjared.com). This means that she picks her clothes according to what she senses is her style, clothes that fit her and in which she feels great whatever the trends. This requires a self knowledge and a self confidence in her own tastes. And this is what is expected from a style icon. She has a style of her own, that prevails throughout the fashion tendances and in which she feels herself.

I really like that Victoria Beckham recycles her clothes and wear them in variations: on the left picture for instance, she wears Dolce & Gabbana White Shirt with a wide leather belt, on the second picture, the same Dolce & Gabbana shirt with large trousers, and the belt again but with a tee etc...

She certainly has a style with products she enjoys wearing.

Victoria Beckham may not have any specific skills apart from shopping and being married to a handsome man but just following her movements to see what she is gearing in terms of outfits is worth it.

So, is Mrs Beckham a style icon? Let me know your opinion.
