Style: Katherine Hepburn, the icon of the week

Last week we spoke about Audrey Hepburn and today we'd like to talk about another lady with the same surname, Katherine Hepburn.



She was an American actress of film, stage, and television. Known for her headstrong independence and spirited personality, Hepburn was a leading lady in Hollywood for more than 60 years. She appeared in a range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, and received four Academy Awards for Best Actress—a record for any performer. In 1999, Hepburn was named by the American Film Institute as the greatest female star in Hollywood history. 

While Audrey Hepburn was a very feminine woman, Katherine Hepburn had a more classical and masculine style, that suited her perfectly. 


We do like women with a masculine style. They don't just look different but they also show their strong character by feeling comfortable and beautiful in looks usually appropiate for men. The famous dinner jacket of Yves Saint Laurent was one of the first steps made in fashion to encourage women to start wearing clothes that would no longer be just for men. Nowadays, thanks to women with a lot of style like Katherine Hepburn, young and old ladies have the personality to wear the garçon style.


Following Katherine Hepburn's style....


...we recommend the following products to look like her: this De Tommaso Oxford style shoe...



...and the Blenheim belt from Hardy&Parsons

Style: Paul Newan, the icon of the week

Paul Newman was an American actor and film director well known for films such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He won numerous awards, including an Academy Award for best actor for his performance in the 1986 Martin Scorsese film The Color of Money.


But Newman wasn't good just acting. Paul Newman was an auto racing enthusiast and he also won several national championships as a driver in Sports Car Club of America road racing. 


It's his racing car style the one we like the most. We believe that someone has a great style if that person is able to show it in all kind of situations. Loving sports and showing so much style while practicing them, is something remarkable!

The italian shoes from De Tommaso brand remind us of Paul Newman driving cars. 



And we believe it matches perfectly with the Non Elasticated Webbing 004 belt from Hardy & Parsons.
