          - Founder
Our favourite fashionable women in music.
  1. Rihanna:
    She single-handedly brought back rocker-glam at the end of 2009. Think tons of leather, ripped jeans, and spikes.
  2. Jennifer Lopez:
    She’s been hitting the town in sky-high heels and fabulous minidresses. And who could forget the Versace dress that rocked the Grammys all those years ago?
  3. Lily Allen:
    A muse to Karl Lagerfeld (Allen appears in the spring 2010 Chanel handbag adverts), this songstress hits the town in chic cocktail party dresses and tailored jackets.
  4. Madonna Louise Ciccone :
    Known as the mother of reinvention, she’s had so many incarnations, it’s hard to keep count. Madge is a daring figure who has been muse to many, including designer Marc Jacobs.
  5. Lady Gaga:
    Her risqué outfits may not suit most, but take a cue from her highness by thinking outside the box. And trying (almost) anything once.
  6. Gwen Stefani:
    The No Doubt frontwoman has always mixed classic with punk, to the delight of her fans and fashion watchers alike.
