Learn some tips from fashion icons with bags of style!
1. Embrace your body shape.
"Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided."
Mae West (1893-1980), Actress and sex symbol
2. Choose your own palette.
"The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you!"
Coco Chanel (1883-1971), Designer
3. Forget 'normal'.
"I don't like standard beauty - there is no beauty without strangeness."
Karl Lagerfeld, Artist and Designer
4. Dress for yourself.
"I never think of myself as an icon. I just do my thing."
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), Actress
5. Work with what you’ve got.
"I've never really had a waist. My silhouette is very straight, up and down. But I have learned to give myself a bit of a waist by optical illusions; for this, bring on the belts."
Twiggy, Supermodel
6. Be chic, not trendy.
"Fashions fade, style is eternal."
Yves Saint-Laurent (1936-2008), Designer
7. Dress for success.
"You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it."
Edith Head (1897-1981), Oscar-winning costumier
8. Be creative.
"I see fashion as an artistic expression of how you adorn yourself. There's no lie in it."
Patricia Field, Stylist, Sex and the City
9. Wear the clothes - don’t let the clothes wear you.
"The dress must not hang on the body but follow its lines. It must accompany its wearer and when a woman smiles, her dress should smile with her."
Madeleine Vionnet (1876-1975), Designer
10. Enjoy yourself!
"I have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create a fantasy."
Kate Moss, supermodel
