Muse Entry Eleven Madonna

There are performers, and then there are superstars. When Madonna (born Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone in 1958) burst onto the music scene in the 1980s, she was not only openly welcomed into that exclusive latter set but essentially redefined what it meant to be famous in America. After struggling for years to make ends meet as a dancer, singer and model in New York City, Madonna finally caught her break when she was invited to perform "Holiday" on Dick Clark's American Bandstand in 1984. Clad in a torn black tee and a black skirt over cropped leggings — plus a whole lot of accessories — Madonna's debut outfit was somewhat tame considering her future incarnations, but audiences were immediately enraptured by her striking spirit. Embraced early as a fashion idol — especially for the young generation — Madonna never ceased to amaze, nor has she ever lost control of her look or her career. From bridal gowns to cone bras and from sexy menswear to Asian inspirations, anything Madonna touched was emulated by her legions of fans around the world. While her musical career has taken a backseat to family in recent years, she stepped up her role in fashion by teaming up with 14-year-old daughter Lourdes in 2010 to create Material Girl, a juniors fashion line available at Macy's. Now a new generation of girls who didn't get a chance to fawn over the Queen of Pop's every outfit can still mirror her style, if not her dance moves.

Muse Entry Ten Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is just as notorious for her outrageous style as she is for her pop hits. After all, Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, has sported outfits made from plastic bubbles, Kermit the Frog dolls, and raw meat. And companies are catching on — Gaga has partnered with brands like Giorgio Armani on tour outfits, as well as Polaroid, and even pens a fashion column for V Magazine.

Muse Entry Nine. Grace Kelly 1929 - 1982

With her porcelain beauty and self-awareness, Grace Kelly could make even the simplest of fashions look effortlessly glamorous. She epitomized '50s style, from the carefully coiffed hair, shirtwaist dresses and fitted sweaters to the tailored jackets, full skirts and satin evening gowns. Those fashions, combined with her poise and confidence, brought forth a timeless style that continues to influence the likes of Hermès, Tommy Hilfiger and Mad Men's costume designer Janie Bryant. But as big a hit as Kelly was on the big screen — she won the 1955 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Country Girl — she was an even bigger star as Princess Grace. When she announced her engagement to Prince Rainer of Monaco in 1955, the news set off a whirlwind of press and fanaticism over the prospect of an American girl becoming a real-life princess. Though she left her movie career behind once she became princess, her influence remained. Testament to her prolonged mark in the fashion world, the Hermès handbag she once used to conceal her baby bump is still known as the Kelly bag. It's no wonder that when Kate Middleton wed Price William earlier this year, she did so in a wedding gown clearly inspired by Kelly's 1956 wedding to the Prince.

I love love love these shots from the Co lookbook of their AW14 collection. As I've said before, I'm an absolute softie for anything romantic and fairytale related and these beautiful portraits of fashion really stand out for me. The direction adds a story to the pieces and gives them character.

On another note, the collection itself is also hitting all the right notes for fall trends; note the soft cornrow braids, fluffy and feathery pastel pink piece akin to Gucci and the rich reds reminiscent of D&G's fairytale collection. Co is certainly a label to watch!

Muse Entry Eight Katharine Hepburn 1907 - 2003

The multiple-Academy-Award-winning actress Katharine Hepburn was raised by progressive parents in Connecticut — her mother was a suffragette — and they gave her more than her signature New England mode of speech. Their tomboyish daughter, who got her start on the stage while in college at Bryn Mawr, was always an independent thinker. The modernity she embodied in real life eventually made its way into the characters she portrayed onstage and onscreen. But it wasn't just independence that made Hepburn modern: there were also the clothes. The famously feisty star showed the world that a woman could care about her looks and still look like herself. For a large portion of the 20th century, she stuck by wide-leg trousers, menswear-inspired shirts and comfortable shoes, even as girlier styles came in and out of fashion. The classic Katharine Hepburn look made masculine fashion chic. Throughout her life, she wore the pants.

Keeping Warm This Winter

Fluffy goodness all around on the runways this season! Coats are big and cosy, from Gucci's pastels to Prada's vibrant colours here's what's been shown:

Felder & Felder, Valentino, Gucci, Prada, Topshop Unique, Alber Elbaz, Christopher Raeburn.

One huge biggie for me, is keeping it faux fur and faux leather, not only does it save your bank balance but some lives as well. Stella Mccartney's collection showed the best of both.
