But I love looking at what they wear and enjoy their styles enormously. That's why they're style icons.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge/page/2#post-1711523 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 20:44:42 +0000 Traci 1711523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, I haven't really either. I think I get too hung up on things like body type and high heels and feel like I can't really emulate these icons. But I realized with the recent thread about EA that that's not true, which made me super curious to see how others are using the inspiration of these icons in their every day lives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711504 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 20:16:03 +0000 Anonymous 1711504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strangely I have never had a style icon...non that I can home in on at any rate. I'll see how the challenge progresses and may join in if someone comes to mind. Great idea Traci. It'll be fun to see what everyone else does for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711495 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 20:00:57 +0000 Style Fan 1711495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like fun.&nbsp; I will participate when I can.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711442 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 18:38:56 +0000 MsMary 1711442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh!

Kinda puts the bum's rush on summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711421 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 17:58:27 +0000 Traci 1711421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, that's definitely a good idea. &nbsp;I went ahead and posted the challenge here: &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challeng-fashion-icons">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....hion-icons</a>&nbsp; I realized my timing was somewhat bad because I'll be on vacation starting Tuesday for more than a week, so I may not tend to the challenge threads as diligently as I'd like. &nbsp;I thought giving the list before the weekend will allow for some planning time.</p> <p>I'm going to try to start a daily thread, but I don't know if I'll be as thorough with pictures and links and timing.</p> <p>Of course, the whole thing is totally up to personal interpretation, so I can't wait to see your selections! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711416 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 17:47:21 +0000 Beth Ann 1711416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Traci! &nbsp;Why don't you just start a thread each day -- put your icon first, and they the rest of us can post to your thread. &nbsp;Keep the same name of the thread running "Icon Challenge - Day 4" so we can find it. &nbsp;Sometimes people will also post their own thread. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have day 1 ready --- I'm going to try to find some that people won't know........... &nbsp;I'm excited about the first one! &nbsp;Here's a taste: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711406 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 17:24:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1711406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll give it a go! &nbsp;I have a couple of opera singers in mind........... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711388 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:35:35 +0000 Angie 1711388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH, Brooklyn. You crack me up. I shudder to think.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was hoping you would do Anna, Natalie.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have <b>many </b>style icons, <i>although I don't dress or look like any of them</i>. I simple love looking at what they wear (or wore). Here's my list of BIG names:</p> <p>Duran Duran, Audrey Hepburn and Anna Wintour are in a league of their own. Then there's Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, Karl Lagerfeld, Jane Birkin, Emmanuelle Alt, Anna Wintour, Cate Blanchett, and Gwen Stefani.&nbsp;</p> <p>And the smaller names:&nbsp;</p> <p>My favourite OUTFIT bloggers are Veronica from Bittersweet Colours, and Jean from &nbsp;Extra Petite.&nbsp;</p> <p>For my own style, I am most inspired by what I see on the streets in my favourite cities like Hong Kong and London. I am also very inspired by this forum and my plus 70 year young clientele.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711249 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 11:48:14 +0000 Cococat 1711249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I must do Anna. I've been told I have a similar thing going on..not sure if that's a compliment though.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711223 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 10:24:16 +0000 rachylou 1711223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. Angie for the win! :)</p> <p>But I don't know - a fleet of Anna Wintours...we'd be super scary! Hehehe! Oh yeah. Now we gotta do AW... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711186 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 04:27:55 +0000 Brooklyn 1711186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I will try. I like sally's suggestion. Perhaps we could also have a blogger/stylist week. Then we could all try to be Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711185 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 04:03:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1711185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea, Traci.

Count me in! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711102 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 01:20:05 +0000 Sally 1711102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could do a theme per week like vogue editors eg wintour, EA and that Italian one who works for vogue Japan, Anna Dello Russo.<br /> You could have the male Rockstars as another theme...just an idea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711084 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 00:48:41 +0000 Traci 1711084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I don't think the icon has to be female at all. &nbsp;I was also considering David Bowie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711077 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 00:42:15 +0000 Angie 1711077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO FUN. I will be cheering from the sidelines.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can someone PLEASE do Anna Wintour.</p> <p>Ines and Emmanuelle have very different styles. Ines is a lot more classic and preppy - no hard edge. EA likes a bit of hard edge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711069 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 00:32:00 +0000 Deborah 1711069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does the style icon have to be female???? &nbsp;I nominate Rick Owens:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711062 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 00:17:58 +0000 Sally 1711062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in. I get quite busy during the week so if I know in advance I could organise myself in the weekend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1711007 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 21:18:57 +0000 Amy 1711007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could get behind Iris Apfel.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1710985 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 20:00:09 +0000 Traci 1710985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to throw Iris Apfel into the mix because she is so maximal and colorful I think she'd be fun to emulate and she came up most often in a pinterest search of "fashion icon". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1710974 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 19:42:17 +0000 rachylou 1710974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wait, even better: Let's go thru all the French, lol. I feel Ines and Emanuelle are quite different - EA has rock n' roll edge - even tho broadly speaking they may sort of be in the same boat.</p> <p>Reminds me of one of my favorite writing exercises - duplicating the voices of different writers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1710972 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 19:38:21 +0000 rachylou 1710972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes. Let's all do Emmanuelle Alt for a day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1710868 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 16:20:46 +0000 carter 1710868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun. &nbsp;I like Miranda Kerr and Ines. I think Ines is different enough from EA to warrant her own spot:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge#post-1710865 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 16:13:14 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1710865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool idea. One of mine is Ines de la Fressange but she might be too similar to Emmanuelle Alt for this exercise. It would be interesting to see how all of us interpret a wide ranging list of inspirations. </p>
