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.

D is for Diane Von Furstenberg

Diane Von Furstenberg epitomizes seventies style and beauty. With a personal look that hasn't wavered much since her emergence as a fixture on the fashion scene in the 1960's, Furstenberg's impact on the fashion industry far exceeds the creation of her trademark wrap dress. As the current president of the CFDA, this forever-youthful, Belgium-born, one-time Princess, contributes significantly to the recognition of emerging fashion designers. Her own designs present an aesthetic that features elements such as geometric prints, short hemlines and voluminous sleeves-offering a vintage look that is high in quality and rich in texture. Musette praises this bronzed goddess for her unwavering vision, triumph over cancer, and of course-for being a beautiful muse to Andy Warhol.

G is for Giles Deacon

Giles Deacon is a truly imaginative fashion, designer who according to New York Magazine, manages to perfect 'a blend of whimsy and wow.' With obscure sources of inspiration ranging from Gothicism to S&M, Deacon is known to be in contrast, every bit the polite and proper Englishman. Having put in time at numerous fashion houses including Bottega Veneta and Gucci, the designer has gradually worked his way up, establishing his very own unique and independent label. Two years ago Deacon established Giles, his first signature brand, and today works under his full name, where he prioritizes a need for quality, while incorporating a unique wittiness in his show-stopping garments. Look out for Giles Deacon's broad talent in his lines for big names like Daks and the Gap.

I is for Ines de la Fressange

One day a model, the next a muse, the next a fully fledged businesswoman-Ines de la Fressange is appropriately honoured by Musette. With a not so shabby start as a Chanel model, de la Fressange caught the eye of the discerning Karl Lagerfeld in the eighties. Years later this pretty face did not let an altercation with the KL himself get her down-she became a fashion designer herself, as well as moving on to consult with another white haired fashion powerhouse-Jean Paul-Gaultier. Today Ines remains strongly grounded in the industry, as boutique owner and spokeswoman for luxury fashion house Roger Vivier. In 1985 de la Fressange was named a modern Marianne, grouping her with fellow French women that reflect beauty, liberty and reason. This is an image that de la Fressange continues to boldly emanate.

L is for Lover

'Romance, drama with a touch of rock and roll swagger' is how Lover designers Susien Chong and Nic Brand describe their clothing label. Based in Sydney, Lover hasn't let the smallness of their business stop them, having acquired an eclectic and faithful fan base, ranging from chic stars such as Claire Danes and Michelle Williams to young fashionistas in the know. Seeking inspiration for collections from sources such as early Woody Allen films and classic rock music-think the doomed Altamont festival hosted by the The Rolling Stones for example. Lover's aesthetic is super feminine with a wild, flirty edge. Watch out for their latest installment-a range of sixties style swimwear which will guarantee you a prime spot on any beach. Acclaimed by Vogue, Lover is a name to watch out for.

M is for Miranda July

Multi-talented, multi-faceted, Miranda July is a creative force to be reckoned with. With film-maker, performing artist, actor and musician all on this wonderwoman's vast CV, July's varied projects are funny, moving and downright spectacular. The award winning Me and You and Everyone We Know features July as the film's heroine, while her latest book No One Belongs Here More Than You is a collection of profound, surreal short stories. For fans, or those who are unfamiliar with this bright star, check out mirandajuly.com-it is truly one of the best sites around, and so much can be said for July herself.

N is for Natasha Poly

Natasha Poly is most certainly the prettiest face among a sea of hard-edged Top Models. Her pint-sized features are complimentary of many a designer look, (well at least Gucci, Pucci and Ralph Lauren seem to think so) and her personal style is effortless, flattering and always chic. Yup, this supermod is cute as a button.

Q is for Mary Quant

All hail Mary Quant, the innovative British designer of the 1960's who brought mini-skirts and hot-pants into mainstream popularity. Quant designed the mini-skirt after noticing a need for shorter hemlines so that swinging gals could run for the bus without feeling restricted. The look encouraged freedom and style and was named the Mini in reference to Mary's favorite brand of car. The emergence of the hot-pant marks Quant's final large scale fashion contribution after which designer moved on to front a successful cosmetics company. What an enterprising woman Mary Quant proved to be, putting trends in place that would live long and fashionable lives.

T is for Te Casan and Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman, (our generation's answer to Audrey Hepburn)is at it again with her angelic do-gooding. This time the Hollywood stunner and her stylist, fashion genius Kate Young, have teamed up with shoe retailer Te Casan to create 100% vegan footwear that won't make you feel like you are wearing cheap orthopedics. Together, Natalie and Kate have conceived a line of footwear that are cutting edge, chic, and of course, animal-friendly. Portman discovered the need for a guilt-free shoe line after having difficulty finding fashionable footwear that wouldn't compromise her devout vegan beliefs. Even if slipping into a pair of leather Louboutin's doesn't send your conscience into a tail spin, Natalie Portman's charitable kindness should be recognised and appreciated-she really is a rare diamond in a rough full of bad apple young starletts.

W is for Woodstock

We are stardust, we are golden... the lyrics of Joni Mitchell's hit Woodstock, epitomised the attitude of the half a million strong music festival that took America, and the world, by storm. As flower children grooved to the sounds of iconic rock musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Joan Baez and Janis Joplin, they donned bell bottoms, daisy chains and moccasins. The multitude of photographs that were taken at the 1969 festival have secured the spirit of the 60's style that continues to be relevant today. Open any current magazine and you will spot a shoot featuring vests, head-pieces, peace signs and long haired foxes with middle parts. Rolling Stone may have voted Woodstock as one of the most important moments in the history of rock and roll, but Musette votes the festival as the moment that locked in the recurrence of 'hippie-chic.'

Z is for Zooey Deschanel

With screen stealing performances in independent hits such as The Good Girl and All the Real Girls it is no wonder this Indy-It-Kid is set to portray Janis Joplin in this year's biopic Gospel According to Janis. Maybe it has to do with her designer chums such as Isaac Mizrahi and Marc Jacobs that Zooey always seems to steal the red carpet too.
