The winner for the Fashion Icon Styling competition at FineSmith Design was Dementia Navarita who chose Louise Brooks, the original "It Girl," as her fashion icon. Congratulations, Dementia. This is the last of the ten weekly competitions. The last stage is for the ten winners of the weekly styling competitions to compete.
My fashion icon is none other than the beautiful and talented Louise Brooks. I channeled her with this lovely plum colored 1920s style dress from *Donna Flora* called JOY. Adored with glittery, patterned stitching, a sheer top with a deep chemise back, a fringe skirt, and sheer stockings, matched with a modern, pair of mary janes or you may know them as the Pow Pumps by [LeLutka] and a 12-inch long cigarette holder to help complete my look. Of course, I couldn't fully channel Louise without that famous bob haircut from clawtooth, which I complemented with the wish earrings by Finesmith Jewelry.
I chose Louise Brooks as my Fashion Icon because she was/is the epitome of 1920s elegance, helped revolutionalize flapper fashion, and made the bob haircut what it is today. You may not know her name, but you know her face. She had short hair, short skirts, and wore makeup. She bore no resemblance to anything vaguely Edwardian and embodied the spirit of the Jazz Age. You can still see her influence even today. And that is why Louise Brooks was and always will be a Fashion Icon.

Fashion Icon can be someone very well known in the fashion world or someone who is leading the fashion world in a new way. My inspiration for today is the character, Carrie, played by Sarah Jessica Parker in the movie Sex and the City, one and two. My Dress is a replica of the dress she wore on the poster of Sex and the City 2. The soft light colors of the dress are complimented by the gold details in both the dress and the gold Jewelery. Not every outfit needs to have bold jewelery to make it stand out. The simplicity of both the collar and bracelet stand out against the detailing in the dress. Carrie has a very fashion forward sense of styling of mixing beautiful material in her dresses with the right texture and color of her jewelery. She is a fashion icon to the up and coming generation.

Choosing a Fashion Icon was difficult as there are so many beautiful and fashionable women both past and present to
choose from, however one did stand out above all the rest.
Marilyn Monroe's Image has withstood the test of time. Even decades after her death she is still a role model for the
stars. Although she is most remembered as an Actress, her career began as a model.
Images of Marilyn are legendary. I believe what made her so
photogenic was the fact that she was simply herself. She
did not have to try to look beautiful and sexy, that is
just who she was. It never really mattered what Marilyn was wearing it was not the fact that she looked good in certain
clothes, it was the fact that she made clothes look good.
In the end Marilyn did not live the picture perfect life,
but every picture of her was perfect.
Hello Lovelies,
When I learned that the theme was fashion Icon, I knew instantly I had to turn to Chanel. She has been such a profound influence in fashion that I knew she would be the perfect designer. My outfit today is the spirit of Chanel.
I decided to do the clean cut but very fashionable side of Chanel. The outfit I chose to be inspired by in choosing my outfit was the quilted lady suit and her infamous layers of pearls. I chose to wear a short jacket instead of a full length that matched Chanel's quilted outfit. I wore a long sweater underneath because I felt it added to the idea of warmth from the quilted material. I wear today a skirt that is my style and Chanel's together, the skirt reminded me of the many layers Chanel's outfits can have whether its jewelry or the clothing. I wear blue pumps to match the short quilted jacket . I was inspired by Chanel's layers of pearls but instead I used a girls best friend, diamonds!! I chose to wear Elle earrings and layer the Diamond Fever necklace and the Ice necklace.
I hope you enjoy my Chanel Inspired outfit as much as I do and Thank you for this opportunity you have given me during these challenges. I truly enjoyed showing you my styling and hope you enjoyed it as well.
