My style icon would have to be Regine Chassagne of the band Arcade Fire.

it's hard to choose just one style icon, i draw inspiration from so many sources, but these days it has been kate from the blog for me, for you, and celebrity wise christina hendricks (we have very similar figures). style is constantly evolving, so it could be someone different next year!
My style icon is Audrey Hepburn. Classic & timeless. LOVE!
That's such a difficult question, but as of now my style icon is Anna Karina. (:
i love anna!
my current style icon is alexa chung.
suzannabunny@gmaildotcom
Right now I've been very inspired by Zooey Deschanel.

Ahhh! When I saw this, I flipped, because my number one style icon forever and always will be Anna Karina (: This painting is beautiful!!
Love this painting!
Finally narrowed it down to two people. First is Phoebe Philo for her wonderful grasp of the power of simplicity. Second is Anna Dello Russo for her daring, risky, wardrobe.
Oh my god, this is absolutely amazing!! Anna Karina is actually my style icon. I really really love this painting. Fingers crossed : )
I'm between Grace Kelly and Alexa Chung right now :)
asli@ytsejam.com
Chloë Sevigny always and forever
A recent discovery for me (and current style crush), Louise Brooks. 20's movie star and completely stunning.

All my style icons currently happen to be bloggers. I love Karla, of Karla's Closet and Rumi of Fashion Toast.

Can the Olsen twins count as one? This is a beautiful giveaway!
cassandra.hougdahl@gmail.com
Right now I'm into Alexa Chung's style, but I used to be obsessed with Anna Karina when I studied Godard!

I think the beautiful women and their personal style blogs I read have become an icon for me. Maybe an inspiration, but if I could take all the girls from my blogroll (like a mix of you, Rebecca and Tieka) I would name that woman my Fashion Icon :)
This painting is beautiful! I would love to have it adorn my boudoir! Thank you for such a unique giveaway!
Amazing, amazing painting!! & ever since I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's when I was a child, Audrey Hepburn will forever be my style icon!! :)
xo Kat
great picture!

this giveaway is so breathtaking beautiful…
my style icon is sofia coppola.
nettevivante(at)hotmail(dot)de
I'll always be so attracted to Alexa Chung and MK's style, and then I derive a lot of inspiration from my favourite bloggers: Rumi Neely is one of them, then I've got to say you.

kathleen hanna. always and forever.
jasmine.kadabra@gmail.com
Goodness me … my style icon … the wonder woman that I always look to for unique individuality through her wears: the fabulous, no-one-like-her, Tilda Swinton.
Bex.

At the moment, the model Iekeline Strang and the blog 'The Snail And The Cyclops' is causing some of my clothing inspiration, but it constantly changes with my mood, next week it could be anyone!

My style icon is Michelle Williams — she is fashionable dressed down, or all fancied up.
omydarlingblog(at)gmail(dot)com
I can't narrow it down!
Alexa Chung, Clemence Poesy, Lou Doillon and most certainly Anna Karina!

Emma Watson and Rose Byrne always look fabulous and rarely overdressed, so I'll go with them.

As far as celebrities go, no one beats Audrey Hepburn!
Do I have to choose just one? Diane Keaton, Audrey Hepburn, Alexa Chung, Sofia Coppola, Joan Didion.
But for the sake of the contest I will narrow it down to Ruth Gordon. She owns my heart forever.
My style icon is the young Linda Ronstadt. I love her tousled hair and fresh face. To me she epitomized California coolness!
It's so hard to choose just one, especially with all the streetstyle blogs about nowadays, but Chloë Sevigny and Ruby Alridge are two of my top style icons.
Style Icon: Liz Taylor in Cleopatra!
smcash81@gmail.com
my style inspiration is a combination of Audry Hepburn, Garth from Wayne's World, and myself as a third grader
i would LOVE to win this beautiful painting of a beautiful icon. my icon lately is carey mulligan. kate(_)lanahan(at)hotmail(dot)com.
My style icons include Vanessa Hudgens – Leighton Meester – and Marilyn Monroe.
jazminjois @ gmail . com
I have a lot of them, but would probably say Marilyn Monroe is my style icon (swimsuit-wise at least). Carey Mulligan is another favorite of mine and Michelle Williams is growing on me.
ameisler38@gmail.com
Absolutely beautiful.
My style icon is Alexa Chung.
What a gorgeous painting. My style icon is Louise Brooks! And Judy Garland for good measure.
Jackie O–classic and timeless! And I love that painting
it's hard to pick but my style icon is definitely Carey Mulligan. What I would give for her wardrobe!!
(emsarconi@comcast.net)
I adore Zooey Deschanel's style. Definitely an icon for me! :)
That's an absolutely beautiful painting!
I guess I don't have a specific style icon, but I draw inspiration from women like Zooey Deschanel, Audrey Hepburn, Alexa Chung and Grace Kelly.
shannongaylesmith@gmail.com
oh gosh that painting is gorgeous! and I guess for fashion icons I'd have to say a mix between lillian gish and henry david thoreau! I like to mix romantic and organic!
katherineb@nycap.rr.com
I have many style icons: from the classic Audrey Hepburn to modern stars like Katy Perry and Dita von Teese. However, my favorite icon at the moment would definitely have to be Zooey Deschanel.
Sorry, forgot my e-mail address:
My current favorite style icon would have to be Zooey Deschanel! Though, I am also partial to Audrey Hepburn, Dita von Teese and Katy Perry.
CassieeLynn@hotmail.com
My style icon is Zooey Deschanel! (who turned 31 yesterday! I hope I look half as great when I hit 30)

I'd have to go with Audrey Hepburn. The epitome of chic!
My style icon is Zooey Deschanel. This is absolutely beautiful!! What I would do for an artistic bone in my body!

Zooey Deschanel…definitely.
This painting is incredible!
My style icon would have to be Louise Brooks (if I had to choose just one…)
steph@threequartersleeve.com
That painting is stunning. My style icon is Amelie Poulain.
easy peasy. This has to be the darling Anna Karina.
Oh this painting is gorgeous! My style icon is Myrna Loy. So classy and elegant but fun too!
My style icons are the girls from Au Revoir Simone.
georgianess at gmail dot com
Amazing! Grace Kelly
Audrey Hepburn!
I'm going to have to say Jackie Kennedy. I just love early 60's fashion, and it really translates well for contemporary fashion.
wow, I just saw the painting she did of you, she is so talented! My style icon is my grandmother.
Anna Karina definitely is up there for style icons! But I also love Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis for that classic old Hollywood glamor. For still-alive style icons I love Kate Moss and Chloe Sevigny.
What a lovely giveaway!
Style icon…. without a doubt Jane Birkin.
Simple, Minimal and Sexy!
One of my favourite modern style icons is Joanna Newsom. There is something so simple and pure about her beauty because she often wears her face very bare, but then she puts together divine, eclectic outfits to really stand out. Plus she plays the harp!
vickycarmichael at gmail dot com
A mix of Audrey Hepburn, Zooey Deschanel, and Christina Hendricks at the moment, but it' so fluid I never know what it will be.
At the moment, it's a tie between Zooey Deschanel and Audrey Hepburn.
Jessi's painting is so amazing!!
My style icon is Diane Keaton as Annie Hall.

My gosh, I've never entered blog giveaways, but this time I simply have to!
My style icon is Anna Karina. Has been since I first saw Pierrot le fou for the first time as an impressionable 15-year old. :) She's completely the reason I got into clothing, fashion and dressing up in the first place.
Oh, and the e-mail is vaara.dikotomia@gmail.com.
tough one, it would probably have to be maggie gyllenhall, as I have being growing up, she's a babe.
hmiller216@gmail.com
Love Anna Karina! Another favorite would be Jane Birkin.
Thanks!
squeakysneakers@gmail.com
Jane Birkin, for one!

SO beautiful!!!!
For the past year an a half, Ive had two style icons: the beautiful Edie Sedgwick and Janis Joplin. But a bit more of Edie than Janis at the moment.
mickyzeppo73@hotmail.com
My style icon is Whitney Port.
lsimms723@gmail.com
This is absolutely amazing!!!
I have several style icons which include: Audrey Hepburn, Bettie Page, Alexa Chung, Nicole Richie, Zooey Deschanel, all of my favourite bloggers (espeically Calivintage) and of course the lovely Anna Karina :)
sweet_melody45@rocketmail.com
Love this portrait!
Subconsciously I think I doggedly adore and worship Audrey Hepburn. But for current life, you Erin, are my styyyyyle icon, miss!
it's hard to choose just one – coco chanel is a favorite. Marilyn Monroe, yet a completely different one, but just as good!
my style icons are shakira for her attitude and fearlessness, jennifer lopez for her glamour and bling, and zoey deschanel because she’s adorable.

I was stalling on twitter trying to find something to cure my boredom – and KABOOM – someone I follow tweeted this post. Now, I am not quite as bored. Thanks for posting nice material
