Style Icon - Nick Wooster (Fashion Adviser to Gilt Man)

As Fashion Adviser to Gilt Man (he was Men's Fashion Director for Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus), Nickelson Wooster is the men's style icon for sartorially inclined young men. His style and attention to detail are almost unparalleled in the men's style world, and every time I see a new picture of I'm stunned at his creativity. Growing up in Kansas and working in a clothing boutique before stints at various fashion houses and Barneys New York, Wooster developed a style that marched to a different drum. The best part is that you never see this kind of style on the street. The style that Wooster has is interesting, sexy, daring, rugged and polished all at the same time and it seriously blows me away.

 It's pretty safe to say that Nick has instantly become an overnight style icon and has developed quite the following on the blogosphere. From his trademark handlebar 'stache to his rugged take on prep, Wooster's badass individual style commands attention.

Style Icon - Duke of Windsor

“Chic Fatigue”, is how Diana Vreeland described The Duke for American Vogue because of the casual yet elegant style he kept his whole life – before, during and after his short reign. Born and groomed to be heir to the largest Empire the world had seen since ancient Rome, Edward VIII was bought up at the sober court of his serious and dominating father George V. Provoked and feeling restrained by what was constantly expected of him as Prince of Wales and King, Edward was a man who threw off the shackles of conformity, obligation and duty and opted to embrace the growing world of frivolity and glamour enforced by the scars of WWI and dazzling lights of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
Rebelling against the conformity of royal life, he was a self-proclaimed trendsetter and true British dandy, crossing barriers and etiquette of dress. This, combined with his seductive charm, made him irresistible and the most eligible bachelor in the world.

Described by Noel Coward as having “All the charm in the world with nothing to back it up” the Duke of Windsor was a Peter Pan Prince. Self involved and never wanting the party to stop, he was a flirtatious and hopeless romantic, falling in love with the twice-divorced, bewitching American, Wallis Simpson. Consequently, forced to choose love over his duty as King he abdicated in 1936 having only been King for less than a year. He and Wallis lived the jet set lifestyle in exile and he continued to display his flair for fine tailoring and a distinctive style.
