Style Icon: Kate Lanphear





Rarely seen in a skirt or dress, US Elle Style Director Kate Lanphear, knows exactly how to mix masculine and feminine motifs while looking undeniably chic at the same time. It's impossible to look at her and not be insanely inspired. Her clothes are impeccable and edgy at the same time, but what really stands out is her amazing knack at accessorizing. She keeps it simple with great tees and blazers, and she knocks you out with her amazing accessories. Kate's aesthetic is so incredibly distinct and that cropped, asymmetrical cut, along with her Marc Jacobs sid punk bag, and her studded accessories will never go out of style on her. I've probably seen her carry that Marc bag hundreds of times, but she somehow always manages to look dynamic and I will never tire of seeing her carrying it. Wearing one or two accessories at a time are a thing of the past. Seeing Kate with her heavy baubles, exquisite leather strap watches, and spiked, studded bracelets make me want to wear accessories by the handful. Forget the models and celebrities-- every season, I'm looking out for Kate.
