Icons of Style

Jelen and I have been discussing our idols recently and decided to share ours with you! My idol is the one and only Coco Chanel and Jelen's is Audrey Hepburn. They are both remarkable icons of the past.



Audrey Hepburn was most known for her stunning acting skills in movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday. She was also a fashion icon and was active during Hollywood's Golden Age. Hepburn is such an inspiration to all considering how she grew up. Her parents divorced and she often moved around a lot. She was sensitive and emotional. But she loved to dance and perform. She thrived and became a successful actress as an adult.



Coco Chanel was famous for her designs. But, before rising to fame, she dealt with many struggles. For example, after her mother passed away, her father sent her to an orphanage. There, she learned how to sew which was the inspiration of her career. Before becoming a designer, she had a brief singing career which was when she got the name "Coco." She later became known for her trademark suits and the little black dress.

Who is your idol or favorite style icon? Tell us in the comments! We'd love to hear from you!
