TMS thoughts on Kate Lanphear
Why do I rate Kate as fashion icon its the pieces that she pulls together to wear if you remove the brands and the labels that she wrap her body in. She wears several items that the general public could find in vintage shops or chain stores that in more affordable price point obviously her sense of style can not be purchased. Like most people we would all love to access to the great brands she wears I find her fascinating It’s her ability to mix and match and combine, layer, accessorise and at the same time stand out. I place her in my list top 10 style icons some of you might agree or preferred to disagree either way always open to hearing anyone’s feedback. +thematerialsletuh+
