The complexity of personal style and the discourse around it

And, who is an actual style icon of today?

Not to belie my vintage, but Alexa Chung’s style defined my generation. The shorts and breton tops and minidresses from Opening Ceremony and Antipodium. I will steadfastly argue that this was not ‘indie sleaze’. 

She was a model-turned TV host on Popworld; hardly a cutting edge fashion platform, but there was something about how she haphazardly layered vintage blouses under overalls with granny-style knit cardigans that swept us all up and — what do the kids say? — had us in a chokehold.

I asked around — on the internet, and real life — who is the equivalent for now.
