MARIE CLAIRE NEEDS FASHION MUSES WITH SIGNATURE STYLE

Marie_claire Truly stylish women all have one thing in common, they have their own unique look. When we style the Editor’s Picks pages in the office, we can always tell whose page it is based on the 10 pieces that they have selected.  Most super stylish women have one piece that sums up their style" (i.e., Zanna and her slouchy trousers, Irina Lazareanu and her leather jacket).
