I'd pitch in, but I'm kind of busy right now and anyway, I exhausted this idea with my Bowie challenge back in January.

I am another huge fan of Kate Middleton, but don't really dress like her in everyday life. Maybe Jennifer Aniston. But I'm not sure. </p> <p>This needs some research to begin with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711694 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 02:09:45 +0000 JAileen 1711694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so interesting. I don't have a style icon that I know of. I'll be watching unless I can think of someone in which case I'll participate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711693 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 02:02:40 +0000 Tanya 1711693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds so much fun!&nbsp; I am totally in, at least for couple of days, though I might need some help in picking up some icons </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711692 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 02:00:11 +0000 Jaime 1711692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - fun, fun, fun! I'm in, still thinking about my icons. Suz I would love to see you in a big (fake!) fur and orange scarf like Annie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711635 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:38:49 +0000 Angie 1711635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO FUN, Suz. Love all your pins. Here are two more:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711632 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:32:43 +0000 Suz 1711632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another, for me, has always been Jean Seberg. For my younger self, but who knows, if she had lived?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711630 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:31:34 +0000 Suz 1711630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, absolutely. You read my mind. Literally!! I have been collecting pins for a while and just found some more.&nbsp;</p> <p>Annie is older than me but not by too many years. And many people do say we look alike. I am travelling right now, but when I get home, I'm going to scan a photo of the very young Suz to compare to this very young Annie (6) . The resemblances are shocking.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>Annie's words to live by:&nbsp;"If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say, 'I'm a feminist. '" ~Annie Lennox</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711570 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:55:04 +0000 Angie 1711570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I couldn't agree <b>more</b> about Audrey. Her insatiable inner beauty made her all the more stylish. There isn't a celebrity who will leave the same legacy in my lifetime. As for Duran Duran - well - they go down as the most stylish men in history! (Excluding my own rock star, Greg). And now, at age 55, more stylish than ever.&nbsp;</p> <p>(And Suz, maybe you should do Annie Lennox?).&nbsp;</p> <p>Traci, I am HUMBLED. Check out a pic from that day. Happy Days.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711567 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:44:14 +0000 Traci 1711567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful inspiration, Angie!</p> <p>I included you as a fashion icon in my list because I am, to this day, struck by my experience at the Chicago meet up, maybe 5 years ago? As the ladies arrived, I could see your influence in their carefully chosen outfits for the day. It was pretty amazing to see the group there, all at once, personifying what we had all learned from you, each in our own ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711566 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:42:04 +0000 Suz 1711566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, I just love how your icons include one of the world's prettiest and most feminine women (well, in my opinion, anyway, because she was such a class act in every way and so strong and always about kindness as much as beauty)...<b>and </b>a bunch of clever boys!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711561 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:37:43 +0000 Angie 1711561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I couldn't resist adding these from my pinterest boards:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711557 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:29:57 +0000 Anonymous 1711557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great idea. &nbsp;I don't have a style icon, but I would really love to have one. &nbsp;Of the examples you posted, I would have to say&nbsp;Ines de la Fressange is closest to an icon for me. &nbsp;</p> <p>I will watch your challenge closely. &nbsp;Perhaps I will find my icon through you and the Forum. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711553 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:25:32 +0000 Angie 1711553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> *happy dance* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711545 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:22:35 +0000 Anonymous 1711545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe!

Those are amazing style icons you added to this thread.&nbsp;</p> <p>Style Fan, I can see you do Jane Birkin.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711489 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 19:55:48 +0000 Style Fan 1711489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kermit the Frog.&nbsp; That's me.&nbsp; Don't ask.&nbsp; Jane Birkin on a good day.&nbsp; Or Jennifer Anniston.&nbsp; Jean Shrimpton on a really amazing day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711484 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 19:50:40 +0000 Ledonna N. 1711484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello what a great list you have put together. </p> <p>I think this is a great idea.

I'm hardly a style icon, but appreciate the sentiment, Traci).&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is Traci's original thread about the style icon challenge - a great idea:&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-challenge</a></p> <p>Ladies, feel free to make anyone your style icon. There was talk of Rick Owens, David Bowie, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Kate Hepburn, Anna Della Russo,&nbsp;Duran Duran, Brigitte Bardot, Karl Lagerfeld, Jane Birkin, Cate Blanchett, Deborah Harry, Kermit the Frog, all sorts of bloggers, or <b>ANY ONE at all.&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b><i>Start a new thread with each new outfit.&nbsp;And above all HAVE FUN.

Have a great trip and thanks for getting this started! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons#post-1711367 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:02:17 +0000 Traci 1711367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love hearing about fashion icons that inspire forum members and I often have a hard time envisioning how I would incorporate elements of the icons style into my own. &nbsp;This led to an idea to have a challenge where we try to emulate the look of different icons in our own way. &nbsp;I'm going to give a list of 7 icons, and I'll include a picture here of each.</p> <p>Throughout the next week or two, I invite you to put together outfits inspired by these icons and share them with the forum. &nbsp;Feel free to try one or all on your own time frame. &nbsp;I actually realized today that I'm going to be out of town for 10 days starting next Tuesday, so my own participation may be spotty. &nbsp;I should have thought ahead.</p> <p>Drumroll...the icons are....</p> <p>1. &nbsp;Emmanuelle Alt<br />2. &nbsp;Iris Apfel<br />3. &nbsp;Ines de la Fressange<br />4. &nbsp;Gwen Stefani<br />5. &nbsp;Anna Wintour<br />6. &nbsp;our very own Angie Cox<br />7. &nbsp;Kate Middleton</p> <p>Obviously, all of these ladies have different facets to their style that cannot be captured completely in one snapshot. &nbsp;Whether you choose to recreate a particular outfit or embody their essence in your fashion choices for the day, there's no right or wrong here. </p>
