Best Dressed 2009

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Audrey Hepburn. Cary Grant. Katharine Hepburn. Fred Astaire. Just drop the name and envision each one’s distinctive style—the classic sheath, the Valentino gown, the perfectly cut suit, the man’s trousers cut down for a woman, the elegant ascot. Each defined a paradigm; each was a person who developed a clear sense of self, of style, of what worked, of what wouldn’t be considered. These were the “it” people of their day—and superstars whose fashion looks people still attempt to re-create today.

Best Dressed 2008

Style is subjective and, in many ways, indefinable. But you know it when you see it. Whether it is subtle or edgy, there is an element of grace attached to style—it can be seen in the way a person glides into a room and the lingering impression he or she leaves.
