Who are the fashion icons of today? Fashion icon’s of the past have given us so much to be thankful for today. Icon’s like Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn made such a statement with their fashion that we still see their looks in today’s fashion. That†s what makes a fashion icon a fashion icon. Providing a look that is so stunning and original that it is seen for decades to come in fashion trends. With that said, who are the fashion icon’s of today?
Without a doubt, Sarah Jessica Parker is one of them. Sarah Jessica is known for taking risk with her fashion statements and she always pulls it off to be an absolutely fabulous look. And what better way to show your style than to start your own clothing line. Sarah Jessica Parker’s Bitten clothing line can be found a Steve & Barry’s nation wide and one of the lucky designers of Project Runway this season had their design chosen to be one of the looks for Bitten as part of a challenge. Can you say affordable? I love Sarah Jessica’s price range for this line. Nothing retails for more than $40, most pieces only $20.
Another one of today’s fashion forward women that deserves a mention is Beyonce Knowles. Beyonce always looks stunning on the red carpet in her total glam look and is a real inspiration for black women today. Like Sarah Jessica, Beyonce has also marketed her style in her own clothing line, Dereon and House of Dereon. One of the lines offers hip hop, urban style clothing for young women and the other is a more grown up line of glamorous dresses and outfits. Beyonce and her mother are the designers for both of the clothing lines. These extremely tailored styles are definitely fashion now and with Beyonce’s name behind it, it is growing like a wildfire. Something is to be said for putting a modern approach to a classic design and turning it into a logo. Classically famous designer labels like Louis Vuitton have made a huge fashion trend by using classic designs and Beyonce has certainly done right by doing it as well. She has succeeded in putting her own modern spin on the fleur de lis for her Dereon line. The Dereon line can be seen on www.dereon.com.
Certainly Katie Holmes has offered up some fashion forward looks that are stunning on the red carpet and sure to put a mark on fashion history. One wonders, will we see a clothing line from Katie as well? We haven’t heard of any such thing yet but a fashion lover can dream, can’t she? Katie has even managed to make the bob hair cut come back by putting her own spin on it and making it a totally hot and stylish look. Who would have guessed that the bob would ever come back? Well only a fashion icon like Katie Holmes could pull that off.
We can’ forget the risky and playful fashion of Gwen Stefani. Gwen has definitely put her own original design out there with her new clothing line L.A.M.B. standing for Love Angel Music Baby. These looks are totally Gwen, and totally creative.
Some other fashionable women that deserve mention are Katherine Heigl and Jessica Alba. I believe all of these women will be remembered for the style they have contributed to every day women’s fashions. Have these women made fashion statements for years to come like Audrey and Jackie? We’ll just have to wait and see now won’t we.
