The Style of Kate Lanphear

The australian Kate Lanphear, current Style Director of US Elle, is one of the coolest Fashion Journalists these days. She is therefore always photographed by Streetstyle Bloggers during Fashion Weeks. Let`s take a close look at the components of her style.





Goth / Punk Look:wearing a Slayer shirt, biker jacket, skinny pants and aviator sunglasses to a Chanel Show - how cool is that!?!





Leather: notice how she carefully only wears one piece of leather per outfit - very good!





Black: all-black outfits.





Black & White: the classic, chic & timeless combination that works always & everywhere.





Platforms & High Heels: Kate is known for her extravagant shoe-choices. Awesome!





Silver jewellery: she wears spikes, rivets & chains, originally hailing from Gothic, Punk or Rocker looks and mixes them. Wearing many of them works but notice how she wears them only at one spot of the body, so chose carefully; either bracelets or necklace / chocker.





Sunglasses: the eternal Must-Have for all Fashionistas. Note how she picked Designer Sunglasses without a visible logo!Picture Sources: 1 2

Style icon Marlene Dietrich & Dior`s D`Trick collection

MARLENE DIETRICH (1901 - 1992)



When Marlene Dietrich died at age 90, the headline of her New York Times obituary decreed her a "Symbol of Glamour."



"Dietrich artfully projected cool sophistication, self-mockery, and infinite experience," said the article. "Her sexuality was audacious, her wit was insolent and her manner was ageless. With a world-weary charm and a diaphanous gown showing off her celebrated legs, she was the quintessential cabaret entertainer of Weimar-era Germany."



Dietrich's infamous role as Lola-Lola in iconic German film The Blue Angel (1930) made her an international star. Yet she shed none of her risqué sexiness as she became a household name: rather, she brought it along with her, and helped pioneer Victor-Victoria chic, often donning tails and a top hat in her films and on stage.



"She has sex but no positive gender," critic Kenneth Tynan once wrote. "Her masculinity appeals to women and her sexuality to men."



Her height was Height was 5ft 6 and her measurements were 35-24-33.



"Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade."



"I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men."



"Don't ever follow the latest trend, because in a short time you will look ridiculous, don't follow it blindly into every dark alley. Always remember that you are not a model or a manniquin for which the fashion is created."



"Elegance is rarely found today. Woman are not brought up to know about it and therefore lack even the desire to acquire it."







In his summer 2004 collection John Galliano revived her glamour in his Dior D`Trick collection, adding even more sex-appeal through chiffon & lingerie and more edge through leather & tattoos. The result was an luxurious, uber-glamorous collection that was loved by today`s style icons like Gwen Stefani, who wore complete D`trick looks in her "It`s my life" video.
