femme du jour: Tina Chow

This week we're enamored with the style of the one and only Tina Chow. Tina Chow was a model and style icon during the 1980s. A member of the NYC elite, she was close friends with Andy Warhol, Manolo Blahnik and Jean Michel Basquiat. Tina was born Bettina Louise Lutz, daughter of a German father and Japanese mother. In 1972, she married Michael Chow, owner of the Mr. Chow restaurant chain. She and Michael were among NYC's biggest celebrities, andwhere she rubbed elbows with many artists and creatives. Tragically, Tina died in 1992 at the age of 41. Tina's grace and completely original look continue to inspire us.

L'homme du jour: Mick Jagger

In the spirit of the androgynous looks we've seen on the streets and runways for Fall 2011, we're turning our attention to the guys. It's impossible not to find style inspiration in the classic Mick Jagger. With his slim slacks, tailored vests, blazers and polished hats, he is the epitome of a refined rock star.

femme du jour: Charlotte Gainsbourg

Lately our office playlist has consisted of Charlotte Gainsbourg's 2010 album IRM on repeat. It's the perfect thing to make the day breeze by. So as a thank you to Charlotte for keeping our ears happy, we're dedicating our next style icon post to her.

The daughter of French musical icon Serge Gainsbourg and beautiful english actress Jane Birkin, Charlotte obviously grew up in a creative and musical environment. Charlotte embodies the casual beauty and understated glamour we've come to expect from classic French beauties. She won us over on screen, starring alongside Gael Garcia Bernal in Michel Gondry's beautiful Science of Sleep, and playing Bob Dylan's jilted lover in I'm Not There. Lately, however, she's been wowing us with her musical prowess, working closely with Beck to record both her first album, 5:55 and last year's release, IRM.

Get Charlotte's carefree Parisian chic with faded skinny jeans, oversized boyfriend shirts, and ladylike loafers.

femme du jour: Sonia Delaunay

In her time, Sonia Delaunay was a star of the Paris fashion world, her name synonymous with other icons like Chanel and Jeanne Lanvin. Now she is best known for her contributions to abstract painting, but her avant-garde designs left an indelible mark on the fashion world

Sonia was born in Russia but moved to Paris in 1905 to study art. She soon married fellow artist Robert Delaunay and together they developed a style of abstract cubist painting known as Orphism. Sonia was revolutionary in her ideas that fine art should not be seen as more important than commercial arts and craft. She translated her painting style into every facet of daily life, including textiles, and fashion design and interiors, and was even commissioned by Diaghilev to design sets and costumes for the Russian ballet.

We are happy to see Sonia Delaunay reaching a new audience through a beautiful new book Color Moves: Art & Fashion by Sonia Delaunay, published by the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum. We are so inspired by her 75 year career that we put together a look for you inspired by Sonia and her characteristic bright prismatic forms.
