ICONIC STYLE SETTERS

By Nida Sakhir

In the current plugged-in era, when we are talking about current style-setters or fashionistas the first few names that would spring into our minds will be Rihana, Zendaya, Lady Gaga and so on, who have enamored us in the field of fashion.  But wait a minute.. little did we think who gave birth to the fashion of today from scratch?!

Well, there were few women of previous generations who have pushed the envelope of fashion and introduced iconic styles ahead of their time. These style setters have influenced the fashion industry back then unknowingly in many ways even in the absence of paparazzi culture or social media.

Yes, it is said, “Forget the past, live the present” but this quote doesn’t go when it comes to fashion’s iconic style setters. As past still sheds light to the fashion of today as well as its coming future.

In this article, we bring to you some of the influential style setters who left a noteworthy fashion legacy behind.

OUR LIST OF ICONIC STYLE SETTERS

1.Audrey Hepburn

This iconic style setter’s elegant and classy dressing styles are synonymous with current Hollywood glamour even now. Undoubtedly the Little Black Dress (LBD) owes much of it’s popularity to Audrey. She often elevated her looks with a pearl choker and gloves with her outfit. In short, she is the ultimate definition of beauty, grace, and feminity.

2.Princess Diana

Princess Diana always ranks first when it comes in the list of iconic style setters. Her elegant outfits, her hairstyle or her tiara it had oozed the charm and sophistication back then as well as now. Diana’s style always conveyed a message, her outfit didn’t just serve for a mere ostentation purpose.

Monroe is all worth to be considered as the true silver icon. With the way she embraced her curvaceous figure, Marylin paved the way for body-conscious outfits in fashion. Monroe’s notable looks include her pink satin gown, skintight nude sequined and white pleated halter dress, these attractive looks have named her as cinema’s greatest sex symbol.

Simply by uttering her name, we can feel the hotness and sexyness that’s oozing out. This queen of pop dressed in such a way that would definitely set on fire, from corsets to aerobic spandex. She sparked a trend in lace, fishnet outfits, black rubber bangle and cheekyness in general.

10. Anita Pallenberg

The model cum actress who cemented rock and roll glam during the 1960s and 1970s. Pallenberg celebrated her bohemian phase with boots, belts, sunglasses, hats, furs.
