Today Laura of Political Style tells us who is her favourite style icons and why?
"I am constantly inspired by classic fashion and style which remains timeless. A wide range of individuals inspire me - Jacqueline Kennedy to Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly to Lee Radziwill. The oversized sunglasses, the little black dress, the Kelly bag - all are timeless pieces which suit women of all ages. I try to incorporate at least one piece in to my outfit each day, and every time it makes me feel super glamorous.
The appearance of Michelle Obama on to the world fashion stage has made a huge impact on women on both sides of the Atlantic, with her mix of high-end and high-street items showing that anyone, on any budget can look fabulous. I constantly keep up to date on what she is wearing, and am excited for my upcoming summer in Washington DC where I will be frequently visiting J Crew! I also adore Joanna Lumley’s sense of style. She is fearless, mixing colour and print fantastically in each outfit. Her love of scarves and her background as a model makes her one of the true style icons of the modern age."
