    supposedly the same Edward VII is the reason why the bottom button on a suit jacket is supposed to be left undone. he got too fat to fasten it, and the other men imitated that style

      It seems to me that the age of the fashion icon has passed us by.

      I can’t remember the last time I saw a lot of people imitating any star’s looks.

      When was the last time there was a Rachel haircut?

          Funny thing. I looked her up and then realized she looked a lot like Sydney Sweeny.

          edit = I didn’t do a deep dive, but from what I saw the two could swap outfits and 'dos without anyone noticing.

          Not exactly iconic.

          Back in the day, John Kennedy killed the fedora when he went hatless to his Inauguration. James Bond had a hat in the gun barrel sequence of Dr. No and had lost it by the time they did Goldfinger.

          Miami Vice’s look was widely copied.

          Like I said, I haven’t seen any true fashion icons in years.
