Camilla and I often talk about fashion, style and beauty. About what it means to have style, who we think is truly beautiful and so on... We have both always tried to move away from major fashion trends and have always felt if you see too many people wearing the same old look then it's time to move on. Although I truly believe that two woman can walk into the same store buy the same dress and both walk out looking completely different. One woman a stylish beauty and the other a hot mess because we all know that fashion and style does not always go together. As Yves Saint Laurent once said " Fashions fade, style is eternal" Well, with all that said we have come up with a compilation of the woman we feel have amazing style and sense of purpose. They are the woman we continue to be inspired by and when we see a photo or editorial of them from now or the past we stop and take notice. The first being Style Icon Jane Birkin and second her daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg. We love Jane's other daughter Lou Doillon too as well as Ines de la Francese, Chloe Sevigny, Kate Moss and of course Dree Hemingway. Dree's ancestral background is enough to make her a style icon before her time.

I love this post and completely agree with both of you, it reminds me of my favorite quote
"I believe in style, not fashion" - Ralph Lauren
I really believe that having a unique style is so much better then being "in" fashion. your style idols are wonderful!
I love all your posts and your blog, I always get excited when you two post something new!

I think YSL is so right. I also think that REAL style is a talent. I think you have to have a sense of balance and an understanding of how colors and fabrics and volume work together. I love how some people look effortlessly thrown together while others look like they really put thought into how each piece relates to each other. But ultimately I think you have to have a good eye!
Kate has and will always be my fave!

awesome style icons. jane and her daughter are both so divinely pretty. kate moss is the modern style queen. who doesn't love her? :)
I like quite much the same girls as you do. Though I would have added some like Audrey and ALexa.

She was a stylish girl!
Great post! I particularly like Dree Hemingway - especially that picture of her in the sequin dress.
I'm with you on all of them. My personal style icon: Daphne Guinness! Sabine x
Lovely ladies, except dree. I don´t personally like her.
I adore Chloe and Dree! They have such amazing personal style and it seems no natural to them.
