Let us introduce you to the people that are shaping up to be the sartorial stars of 2011. These are the most stylish models, actresses and musicians to have caught our attention over the last year, and who we predict are set to make an even bigger impact over the coming months. Read on to find out why these fashionable faces are the ones to watch next year
We have developed a near obsession with fashion’s latest darling. Those big eyes, disdainful pout and a consistently flawless style have made Edie Campbell our new girl crush. On or off duty, the model girlfriend of rocker Johnny Borrell never fails to make us coo at her enviable wardrobe. Set to build on her Marc Jacobs, Burberry and Stella McCartney campaigns, 2011 is looking to be even better. Watch out Alexa Chung...
This year a new member was inducted into the stylish-child-of-rock-royalty club. The stunning 17 year old daughter of Annie Lennox is now making a name for herself thanks to a promising modelling career and has got our attention with her eclectic style of vintage looks seamlessly mixed with high end red carpet dresses. Currently starring in Topshop’s ad campaign – she’s on display in the huge window of the Oxford Circus flagship store - look out for her in 2011…
Gorgeous fashion blogger Bip Ling is the girl everybody’s talking about. Whether it’s her insightful and quite frankly addictive musings about her day-to-day obsessions with the help of cute My Little Pony and Carebear graphics or her fabulous sartorial sense, she’s a style icon in the making. With her blog gaining cult-like status, a successful club night, art dealings, presenting and even a Topshop collaboration under her belt, she’s the epitome of the digital age. We can’t wait to see more of her wardrobe as she continues to conquer the world.
Dakota Fanning’s younger sister may only be twelve but she already has a string of big feature films under her belt – and what’s more, she’s the new star that all the big designers are clamouring to dress. At her recent appearances, Elle has displayed a degree of fashion nous way beyond her years, wearing enviable pieces by Rodarte, Valentino, Marchesa, Azzaro and Chanel. And with her latest film,
This rising star is exceptional on many fronts. Aside from modelling and dating Mark Ronson, Josephine’s noteworthy career as an actress (look for her in the upcoming One Day), and singer (she co-fronts the indie-band Singtank) is about to go stellar. But until now, Josephine has captivated us with her bold sense of style, combining her native French elegance with British experimentalism to create her singular look.
We predict big things for musician Florrie Arnold. Having worked for Cheryl Cole and Kylie, the drummer and songwriter has now caught the attention of the fashion pack. Already the star of Nina Ricci fragrance, we’ve spotted her in Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs to name but a few. Keep an eye on this beautiful creature…
We’ve been keeping an eye on Alice in Wonderland star Mia and her knack for nailing offbeat elegance. With a demure, quirky style and a striking pixie crop, she opts for edgy yet feminine designers and even couture for the red carpet. We think she’s set to follow in the footsteps of Carey Mulligan in both fashion and film.
With a look as alluring as her name, it’s no surprise that Valentine Fillol-Cordier is a model and muse in high demand. Her waif-like frame and Parisian elegance are just as famous as her modern take on Coco Chanel’s chic androgyny. Having caught the attention of Karl Lagerfeld, bagged herself the creative consultant role at Charles Anastase and modelled for the world’s most cutting edge publications, her enviable style and beauty is set to be ever more present in 2011…
The British-born American drummer of The Like - and former girlfriend of Mark Ronson – Tennesse Thomas is putting ultra-hip, quirky dressing on our radar. Mixing 1960s shift dresses, leather saddle shoes and rocking her trademark oversized Charles Anastase glasses, we've spotted her hanging out with Alexa Chung backstage at London Fashion Week and partying and performing at the most hippest parties both sides of the pond. With The Like’s popularity set to soar, we’re sure to see more of her supercute, retro looks…
