Iconic Woman of Style: Lana

Lana began performing in clubs and bars around the city under various names, including her birth name, as well as Sparkle Rope Jump Queen and the Phenomena. She told Vogue UK in an interview "I was always singing, but didn't plan on pursuing it seriously," she told us. "When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn - I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point - and that was it."

Her first hit, Video Games, was release online in June 2011 followed with an accompanying video on YouTube. It accumulated in excess of 20 million YouTube views in the first 5 months of its upload.

And for all you loyal Lana fans out there, she said in the accompanying Vogue interview that she may not release a second album, stating: "Oh, I don't think I'll write another record. What would I say? I feel like everything I wanted to say, I've already said."

Iconic Woman of Style: Iman

 Since she was discovered in 1975 by Peter Beard on the streets of Nairobi, Africa, Iman has been setting the bar for what a beautiful, powerful woman can achieve during as well as after a career in modeling. 

Her fist appearance in the modeling world was a spread in Vogue in 1976, and there was no stopping her from there. Throughout the 70's and 80's she was a muse for designers such as Donna Karan, Yves Saint Laurent, and Calvin Klein. 

An actress, an activist, author, and fashion and beauty mogul, Iman has truly made an impact on the world for generations to come. She has appeared in movies along side Meryl Streep and Kevin Costner, written two books I am Iman, and The Beauty of Color. Her cosmetics line, Iman Cosmetics has been hugely successful since 1994. Her philanthropy work in creating the "I Am African" with the Keep a Child Alive program is one of her greatest achievements, bringing in support from some of the biggest names in Hollywood. She was awarded with the CFDA's Fashion Icon award in 2010 for her profound and lasting influence.

Eric Boman has captured the true essence of Iris in his book Rare Bird of Fashion; an in depth look into the fabric, designers, and elements of what truly sets Iris apart.

Iconic Woman of Style: Kate Moss

Kate Moss. The (anti)supermodel we have all loved since she first appeared on the fashion scene in the 90's. She revolutionized the modeling world, with the introduction of the heroine chic look and has set trend after trend over the years. Discovered at age 14, her career is still going strong today, at age 37. Her line at Top Shop is a huge success, she still rocks the runways and who can forget those stunning wedding photos from last year?

Harness Kate's rock chic look by keeping your color palette simple and maximizing the details with great accessories. Less is more, and dressing for your mood, as Kate says she often does, is a great way to feel comfortable and confident in anything you wear.
