ABC's: Musette Style! A is for Annie Hall

Nothing provides fashion inspiration like a classic film star, especially in the form of Diane Keaton circa 1970's New York City. Keaton, who will forever be remembered as the lovable, neurotic flirt, Annie Hall in Woody Allen's 1977 comedy, was a vision in vests, chinos and quirky hats. But it is not simply this character's daring and androgynous fashion statements that we can strive to recreate, but also her romantic outlook to life and outrageous sense of humour.

B is for Bob Dylan


The answer my friend is no longer blowing in the wind, but in the timeless cool of Bob Dylan. This enigmatic musician's fashion time line has put Ray-Ban wayfarers, bulky scarves, messy hair and skinny trousers on the map. From Dylan's cropped blazers and ankle boots of the 60's, to his cravats and wide rimmed hats of today, this hipster has secured his reigning title as King of Cool.

F is for FRUiTS


Japanese photographer Schoichi Aoki captures the individualist street style of the Harajuku district of Japan in the magazine Fruits. Portraits of Japanese youth in an inspiring and outrageous array of get-ups can be found in the publication's pages, uninterrupted by advertisements, allowing Fruits to read more as an art installation than fashion magazine. The widespread interest of the spontaneous and unaffected people of Aoki's photos have led to two books on the topic, as well as a global Fruits exhibition tour. The minimalist format of Aoki's photographs and magazines make way for his colourful and dynamically decked out subject matter.
