century: Kate Moss, Madonna, Debbie Harry and Bridget Bardot
Added: June 17, 2009
British
supermodel Kate - whose 1993 Calvin Klein advertising campaign
sparked a craze for waif-like models - was crowned the best-dressed
person from the 90s after polling 62.5 per cent of the vote.
Fellow models
Linda Evangelista and Erin O'Connor won second and third place
respectively, with former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham coming fourth.
Pop singer
Madonna's iconic 80s 'Material Girl' look - which saw her take
inspiration from Marilyn Monroe by sporting bleached blonde hair and
bright red lips - was also lauded, with Britain's late Princess Diana
and actress Joan Collins also receiving mentions for their fashion
savvy during the decade.
Blondie singer
Debbie Harry's rock-chick style received 43.8 per cent of 70s vote,
beating Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger.
Former
actress, singer and model Bridget Bardot's signature doe-eyed look
triumphed in the 60s category, while actresses Audrey Hepburn and
Marlene Dietrich were named the earliest style icons.
Despite David
Bowie being named the 70s' second best style icon, men were generally
missing from the survey, with soccer star David Beckham and singer
John Lennon only pulling in small amounts of votes.
The survey was
conducted by Clothes Show London fashion event, with the aim of
discovering which famous faces have sculpted the British fashion industry.
The poll was
taken ahead of next month's Clothes Show Style Awards, which will
name the top fashion stars of 2009 in categories such as Best Dressed
Man and Best Dressed Woman.
