Is this the true face of fashion?

The 'International best dressed list 'names the who's who in fashion over the last 50 years. This list gives inspiration to any true fashionista, with class, elegance and style who wouldn't feel inspired to bring back old school glamour after viewing these iconic beauties.

Let's start with Barbara Cushing Mortimer Paley, nicknamed and well known as Babe for most of her iconic life.  'Babe' a former Vogue edtior lived and worked in New York, where she set about to cultivate and create a picture-perfect social world.

Babe Paley - 'Fashion Icon'

In addition to lavish entertaining, Babe maintained her position on the best-dressed list fourteen times before being introduced into the Fashion Hall of Fame in 1958. Babe regularly bought entire haute couture collections from major fashion houses. Her personal style was inspirational to thousands of women who tried to copy her, as Bill Blass once observed, “I never saw her not grab anyone’s attention, the hair, the makeup, the crispness. You were never conscious of what she was wearing; you noticed Babe and nothing else.”

Her personal, unconventional style was enormously influential.
