The only reason most of us care about the French style of dressing is because of the women who wore it. French fashion became a sensation thanks to a few key icons which came to define the style itself. Today I want to share a few of these timeless style icons who contributed to the way Parisians dress today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the French style icons that won\u2019t be out of memory any time soon. From avant-garde style to elegant taste, these style icons are a diverse and constant source of inspiration for me and many other women. Even though their style may be considered vintage, there are still so many outfits they have worn that inspire fashion designers<\/a> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, who are they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most iconic French style icon is undoubtedly Brigitte Bardot. The blonde-haired beauty was seen by many as the French Marilyn Monroe, famous for being a symbol of feminine sexuality in the mid-century period. Bardot, also called B.B., is an actress and singer turned animal rights activist. I particularly adored her performance in the Jean-Luc Godard film, Le M\u00e9pris<\/em> (1963). Among her many famous looks was a pink gingham dress she wore to her 1959 wedding to Jacques Charrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrigitte Bardot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
