My Style Inspirations

I was thinking about style inspirations and I realised my style hero's can be narrowed to four innately stylish and gorgeous women - Leigh Lezark, Chloe Sevigny, Jane Birkin and most importantly my mother. My mother who will always be the most beautiful woman in the world (and even more beautiful because she doesn't realise this fact), who always looks stylish and elegant and who never follows fashion trends. The other three women maybe famous, but none come close to my mum. So, continuing this train of thought, who are you style inspirations?

Style Hero

As I said in the previous post, Leigh Lezark is my style hero. She adheres to the aesthetics that I so love (clean lines and uncomplicated elegance) and is completely unapologetic about the lack of colour the infiltrates her wardrobe. Above are only a few of her outfits that I most covet, the all black creations are particularly lusted after. I've read many criticisms of Leigh, she is overrated, her outfit choices are monotonous etc, but one of the things I most love about her style is that she is completely attuned to what suits her. Her style is not influenced by the latest trends, but evolves from experimentation with fabric, texture and structure. Best of all she wears her clothes with such confidence and aloofness it is impossible not to be impressed by her self assurance in her own style.

Annual Fool

Here are my favourite outfits from the New Yorkers for Children's Annual Fool's Fête held Wednesday night. As usual Diane Kruger (middle right) looks gorgeous in Marchesa, but I most want to raid Leigh Lezark's (top right) wardrobe. She is my style hero and I only love her more for refusing to smile. She maybe an ice queen, but she wears it well.
