These are the women whose clothes have something to say, and it’s something interesting. These 21 women have caught our eye over the years because they make an art, not a science, of getting dressed. We watch the polished women at the auction houses and art fairs in the hopes of one day being able to imitate that level of grace, elegance and poise under pressure. We watch the gallerists and dealers because like people who resemble their pets, their sartorial sensibilities are often amusingly in keeping with their artistic preferences. We watch the artists and designers because what they put on their bodies is a reflection of their rich, impressive interior lives and ultimately, their creative processes. This, again, is music to fans’ ears.Fashion and art have had a long history as bedfellows-after all, an expertly constructed dress or an over-the-top handbag is truly a kind of wearable art-but that’s not the real reason we love watching what all the pretty art world birds wear around town. And that’s without counting the various clean and vegan commitments made by the two stars when launching their respective beauty products this year.
It’s like a new genre in its own right, and it’s one that appeals, especially to younger followers. Whether it’s a suit or evening dress for Billie Eilish, or flared pants, open shirt and shiny gold chain or a dress with a feather boa for Harry Styles, both use fashion as a new form of self-expression. And while neither star is giving up traditionally masculine or feminine clothes altogether, they both play with fashion however they like, dressing according to their personality, their whims and their fancies, rather than following any fashion diktats. Both stars have clearly distinguished themselves with their willingness to break codes and stereotypes, reflecting broader changes underway in society.
And their taste for gender-fluid looks no doubt has something to do with that. Is gender-fluid fashion the real style icon of 2021?īetween them, Billie Eilish and Harry Styles clearly appear to have dominated the fashion limelight this year. Not content with success on stage or in theaters, the former One Direction member has totally metamorphosed, playing with fashion to serve up a new vision of style - one that shuns convention, not to mention some of the norms and expectations imposed for decades by an industry that’s also in the throes of change.

Whether in music, movies or fashion, the global star seems to turn everything he touches into gold, and above all knows how to adapt brilliantly to the current - and numerous - changes underway in society. In just a few years, the global star has also become a veritable fashion icon, with his gender-fluid outfits inspiring millions of people around the world, as a new study reveals. The British singer Harry Styles has come a long way since starting out in the boy band One Direction - and not just in the world of music. We can’t say we’re surprised, but the results are in and the results are crystal clear: Harry Styles is the fashion icon of the year 2021.
