Coco Chanel

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future

ELLE's adapted version of fashion Icons in music top 5


ELLE have recently on their website named the 25 most influential Fashion Icons in music. I've narrowed down my top 5 and bare in mind this is my own personal opinion.



1) the MOST influential fashion icon is music is... Grace Jones!!.
She is Jamaican born and was Andy Warhol's muse and was sometimes naked like in this cutaway dress, to sky high shoulder pads
Gender bending with her Flat top short hair and her high high cheek bones.





2) Is Madonna in the 80's. She has had many many many different styles over these years. I believe she was the one to wear crazy hair and thrift store chic in "desperately seeking Susan".
And then to the conical Jean Paul Gaultier Gold bra. She has defiantly had a big impact on music fashion over the decades.
3) Courtney Love is 3rd in my top 5 list. She earned this place with her style during the 90's, this included ripped stockings, smudged make up and torn baby doll dresses. Her signature style smeared red lipstick is credible style points to me
3) Diana Ross is 3rd with her amazing figure and beautiful clothes. I love this picture above because of the diamanté all in one suit. This does make her a style icon but not one of the best in my opinion.



5) finally beyonce is 5th with her Fashion style. I dont think that her style deserves top though because all she wears is designer and thats great but there is nothing amazing and wonderful.

Well that concludes the amazing wonderful top 5 Fashion icons by Ruby Dickson

Miu Miu fall/winter collection 2010





>>On the website there is a sneaky preview of miu miu's new collection for fall/winter. And it is awesome!. Its a mixture of fur skirts and bejewelled dresses. Its wonderful, I especially like the fur mittens and the high, long ponytails everything is girly but not too much. Its still very edgy and cool. The models eyes are purple and orange, which is still quite summery. This collection isnt as a good as the miu miu cat print in spring because it doent have such a wow fresh factor. It felt like the cat print in spring has never been done before ( probably has). Nevertheless its a decent collection worth a Ruby Dickson blog post :)

magma?, magma no not volcanoes


>> I have recently visited a little shop in Manchester city centre called Magma. It sells all the magazines and books you could ever need. I m talking I-D, LOVE, Vogue Italia, POP and many many more!!... I'm going back there on Friday with all my friends. (its on facebook guys) . Well we are all going in mass numbers. Tanita Allinson who's blog scream Kinder organised it after we took a trip there first our selves.

Crazy Psycho prints: trend Report



>>Wear your feeling on your own sleeves with these crazy ass prints, I'm talking naked women and Optical illusions. Miu Miu and
Jason Wu. Just beautiful.
I really like the pointy and puffy sleeves and collar on the Miu Miu Shirt. Dont you think this pinis stunning also, even though its a naked women and its nude pink.


Crochet, crochet, Chanel




Crochet is big this season, I'm loving The Chanel spring collection as you can see above. Now there is a way to wear crochet and..Cate Blanchett( blanket!) is NOT wearing it correctly It literally looks like she has an old grandma blanket wrapped round her, like a toga with the sleeve cut off .
