WOMEN OF STYLE ( 2)

MARISA BERENSON
Actress and Model born 1946, Marisa Berenson's grand-mother was Elsa Schiaparelli: it is to say how predestined she was to become this stylish woman! Yves St Laurent named her "The Girl of the Seventies", in other words, the IT Girl and apparently the Real first Super Model since she claimed to be the highest paid model in her time...

But what makes Marisa a stylish woman is her very certain fashion sense: she is daring and knows what suits her. Would it be minimalistic or demure, she always pulls it out well.
What amazes me, is that even besides young women, she looks sexier and more
attractive.



WOMEN OF STYLE ( 1)

LOULOU de la FALAISE
Fashion muse and very good friend of Yves St Laurent born in 1948, Loulou de la Falaise recently strated her own jewellery line ( www.louloudelafalaise.com).
She is undoubtedly a very stylish woman with a upscale ethnical kind of look. A mix between Old Russia velvet, Asian Corals and Chic Boheme, Loulou de la Falaise.
At almost 60 yo, she exudes a "glamour chicness" that only true sense of style can express.
I have always admired her sense of style and simply love her jewellery lines.


WHO IS THE NEXT STYLE ICON?

Looking at young starlets and celebrities, I often wonder who will be the next fashion icon that everyone will name in 50 years. Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis gained their reputation thanks to an impeccable style throughout their lives. Would it be on the red carpets, staged photos, traveling or walking on the streets, their style remained flawless. Audrey wore Givenchy while traveling and one will remember the pictures of Jackie O (as opposed to a more contrived Jackie Kennedy) walking down the streets of St Tropez with the Bouvier Bag by Gucci along with her signature large shades in the 60s...

It is hard to find style icons nowadays. None of the actresses or celebrities seem to care enough to dress well in every circumstances. Appart from the big events where they all are dressed up by stylists, the casual leads the way.

In my mind, a style icon is someone whose style is timeless and which everyone aspires to be as demure/ chic/ elegant. It is a combination of chosing the right outfits and to wear them well accordingly to one's body shape.

SO, WHO IS THE NEXT STYLE ICON?
Please, submit your ideas, suggest a photo ( include picture sources ) and let me know who and why you think she is a future style Icon among the actresses/ celebrities/models/ personnalities of our time! I will post your arguments and pictures.
