Style Icons




It's that time of year again, when school girls take the day off and hope to be scouted by model agencies. When London is turned upside down by yet another fashion event. Yes boys and girls, it's the Clothes Show Live. They've polled our style icons of the 20th century and guess what? It's all boringly predictable. Bridget Bardot for the 70s, Madonna for the 80s, Kate Moss for now. We would like to have seen a little more imagination from the nation. A little less regular blonde sex symbol and a little more of women who embody unique beauty and power. What about Angelica Huston for the 70s, Grace Jones for the 80s and Tilda Swinton for now? Women who don't have to get their kit off, or reinvent themselves, or starve themselves to get attention. These are our nominations - what are yours?
