Style Icon: Miroslava Duma

Miroslava Duma is not a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.  Instead, the fashion editor for Harpar's Bazaar Russia favors feminine dresses, tailored coats, and luxe suits, all cinched with her trademark extra-long belt.  I love that Miroslava does not confine herself to one style--she experiments with classic and modern pieces, creating a head-to-toe polished look.



    

 

Recently Miroslava had a baby, and her maternity wardrobe was EPIC.  She substituted flats for her usual stillettos, but did not give up her figure-defining belts.

Style Icon: Taylor Tomasi Hill

Typically, actors and musicians get cited as style icons, in spite of the fact that they have a team of people devoted to creating their image for them.  This hardly seems fair.  For me, fashion editors have celeb status and the most imitable style.  It is the job of fashion editors to be ahead of the style curve, hunting down new designers, interpreting runway looks, and distilling trends in the pages of Vogue, Elle, etc.  I love seeing photos of editors on the street, or at the front row of shows.  One of my all-time favorites (who I have already mentioned here and here) is Marie Claire's accessories editor, Taylor Tomasi Hill.  This woman always gets it right, perfecting unexpected mix of color, print and proportion, and topping it all off with unique accessories and her enviable red hair.  LOVE her.

And, of course, Taylor's wedding was sartorial perfection, and was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings.
