Talent alone doesn’t make a STAR.
Their style needs to make an impact
Make us believe they’re Bigger than life.
At the 2000 Grammy Award show, Jennifer
Lopez showed up in this barely there green Versace
dress and made history. The world
has never been the same since. The
Jennifer craze had begun.
Gwyneth Paltrow wore this princess dress, by Ralph Lauren, when she won the award for best actress in “Shakespeare in Love.” She joined the ranks of the A-list with this choice. This dress took us back to the glamorous golden era of Hollywood.
“South Park” creators, Trey
Parker and Matt Stone parodied J
Lo’s and Gwyneth’s dresses at the 2000 Oscars’. Obviously, making fun of the OBSESSION we have with fashion. Yet unknowingly reiterated their
infamy.
The essence of style.
Stars seem to naturally have it.When they wear
something, it just looks better!
Born Norma Jean Mortenson, she developed a persona around the ultimate male
fantasy. Thus, Marilyn Monroe was born. With this new
persona came an unforgettable style. Who can forget the ultra blonde curls, the fake beauty
mark, luscious red lips and tight dresses. Marilyn was the envy of all women and the desire of all men. She stands alone as
the greatest blonde bombshell of all time.
AUDREY HEPBURN
Audrey Hepburn was a style goddess
amongst a sea of mere mortals. She
encompasses what is classic and
sophisticated. Dressed by her
favorite designer, Givenchy, she
originated the little black dress, as seen
in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Who can forget the tiara, the chic up-do, and the
oversized sunglasses.
Cher is truly a style icon. With her outrages style, she set
herself apart from her blonde-haired counterparts. Yet she is
not taken seriously in Hollywood. Rumor has it that
she will never win an academy award because she doesn’t look like an award winner.
Now we come to the ultimate Style Icon.
She is a fashion chameleon. Never adopting a style for long. She had an entire generation
dressing like her. And coincidentally started
what I call fashion A.D.D.
An inability to stick with a style.
A lack of fashion focus.
Sound Confusing?
It’s what made Madonna go from this…
To this…
To this…
To this…
To this…
And now…
Style Icons in the past embraced a persona.
Now the rules have changed. We are starting to see that everybody is going A.D.D.

Before… Now
Fashion A.D.D. has caused us to lose focus of what fashion is all about!
We have become obsessed with perfection.Celebrities along with many average people have gone to the extremes of dieting to have
the perfect body for wearing clothes.It’s become all about the body!
I thought fashion was about making a statement.
Fashion is about expression
Not perfection
Do what you feel
Wear what YOU want
Just be yourself
