My Nylon magazine arrived today and it’s the “Young Hollywood” issue. It’s packed with re-tuned 80’s visuals – from the cover stylings of Kat and Olivia, the beauty looks, and the big editorial layout. I love Nylon and even though I’m not its target consumer, I gobble it up as soon as it enters the house.
After a quick leaf-through, I was inspired to watch Pretty In Pink, one of my favorite movies in high school. And I have to say, I think the visual style has held up really well. I still find Molly’s character and look from the mid-80s to be one I can draw from today.
Switch back to today, Nylon and one of their favorite poster girls…
Looking cute as usual
I love the way Rachel Bilson re-energizes pieces and looks from all different eras. She looks comfortable and cool, utterly herself, and most importantly, she doesn’t equate showing skin with any of those previous adjectives. I think she will be a fashion icon for her peers for decades to come.
Rachel has a new gig which should further cement her status.
Announced today in WWD:
In her latest role, Rachel Bilson will play a fashion editor at In Style. The actress will pen a monthly Q&A beginning with the May issue, answering readers’ style questions and revealing some of her favorite trends. The former star of “The O.C.” has been a fixture in the pages of In Style and was profiled in the August issue when she launched a clothing line with DKNY Jeans.
When managing editor Ariel Foxman asks readers who has the best personal style, “Rachel Bilson’s name comes up more often than not,” he said. “They love her particular take on eclectic chic. So I thought wouldn’t it be fun to connect with Rachel with our audience, give her a place in the magazine to talk directly to women about her styling quirks and fashion obsessions.”
Is the actress interested in a career change? “I am not planning on quitting my day job to be a full-time fashion editor, although I am really enjoying it and it intrigues me very much,” she said. “I’m actually flattered more than anything that people want to ask me questions about style. I am honored to do it.”
Who still manages to inspire you?
