Style Icon: Emmanuelle Alt
In anticipation of Fashion Week I figured this month’s “Style Icon” should be a front row/street style blog frequent who gives me some serious closet envy, otherwise known as Emmanuelle Alt. Damn can that lady wear a pair of skinny jeans and a blazer like nobodies business; but let’s make it our business right now.
Along with the fact that her style is sleek simplicity at its finest and that Balmain may or may not be made specifically for her, it amazes me that she can essentially throw together the same outfit day-in-and-day-out and still make it look different, interesting, and for lack of a better word, sexy! Ya, I said it, Emmanuelle Alt is sexy.
We all know how much I love a good blazer and pair of sausage casings skinny jeans, and I gotta say it’s refreshing to know that it’s a go-to for someone as impactful in the fashion industry as Emmanuelle Alt. So for all those mornings next week when I throw a fashion fit on “not having anything to wear,” I take comfort in knowing that my daily uniform is totally acceptable for Fashion Week – since the sidewalks are equally as followed as the runways.

»· Style Icon: Miroslava Duma ·«
During New York Fashion Week I saw a girl wearing this Derek Lam cape jacket and ferociously stalked street style blogs until I found out who she was/where I could get that amazing jacket. Her name is Miroslava Duma and her style is the pinpoint of what I deem as perfection. Sometimes boho, sometimes minimal and chic, sometimes straight up glamorous, Miroslava never falls into one style category. Amen!
She used to be an editor at Harpers Bazaar Russia and now does freelance work for a number of editorials but honestly, this girl should add stylist to her resume. She’s not afraid to combine Zara with Christopher Kane (two of my favorites) and I love how she knows hot to dress for her body. I seriously have bookmarked at least 50 photos of her outfits, but this collage is a mash-up of some of my favorites.
»· Style Icon: Clémence Poésy ·«
It was only a year ago that I bookmarked a photo of Clémence Poésy wearing a monochromatic grey outfit and I’ve since become an avid follower of her style. Unless given an occasion to dress up, Clémence’s style feels effortless and casual in simple skinny jeans and loose fitting tops – a look I’m quite familiar with. I like that she brings out her girly, elegant style for those red carpet appearances but keeps things minimal and androgynous for her everyday looks. And I obviously love the fact that she’s equally as obsessed with layering as I am – three cheers for the approaching cooler climates so that we can all layer away!
Clémence is religiously photographed during Paris Fashion Week and I can only imagine what kind of goodies she’ll be breaking out for those street style candids! But until then, feast your eyes on some of her past look and get inspired!
Also, anyone who recognizes her from Harry Potter gets a gold star.
Style Icon: Jimi Hendrix
I’ve been wanting to feature Jimi Hendrix as a style icon for months now, but didn’t want to do it until I felt I had a sufficient amount of rare and colored photographs (not easy to come by a la internet). But at last I’ve accumulated and created a collage worthy of posting and just in time for music festival season no less!
Jimi Hendrix’s wardrobe has to be among the top five wardrobes I’d like to raid. The jackets, the hats, the belts, the VESTS!, the bell bottoms, the jewelzzz, holy mackerel! I’d love to know how long it took him to get dressed for the day. Was it one of those situations where he huffed and puffed in front of the mirror or was it just a grab and go type of thing? Either way, there isn’t an outfit I found where he didn’t look awesome and he definitely makes me feel better about my extensive jacket collection. I mean really, is it possible to ever have enough jackets?! I think not. Now I just have to get my hands on one of those military/Sgt. Pepper jackets. Balmain S/S 2009, I’m looking at you.
Style Icon: Daisy Lowe
Daisy Lowe has been one of my style inspirations for a few years now. While I immediately fell in love with her doe eyes and shaggy fringe haircut, my obsession and love for her style followed soon there after. I relate a lot to Daisy’s style actually, because I don’t think she really has a style that can be categorized and/or labeled. One day she looks elegant and feminine, another she looks like she just stepped off the back of a Harley Davidson. While there’s always a bit of an edge to Daisy’s look, she’s entirely unpredictable and you really get the vibe that when she gets dressed in the morning it’s all about what she feels like wearing and what she feels confident in. From the red carpet to Glastonbury, she always impresses me with her sartorial choices. And she definitely has me considering a shaggier haircut…
