-          Marilyn Manroe

Norma jeane Mortenson, or as the world knows her Marilyn manroe, continues to be considered the most beautiful woman in the world. No, she was not perfect like these air brushed models we call beautiful today, she was more then that. She was love, lust, envy, she was remorse. Her troubled private life, unhappy childhood and struggle for professional respect did not bog her down. Only Elvis and mickey mouse compare to her popularity.  The white ivory cocktail dress she graced in the seven year itch has been described as one of the most iconic dresses in the 20^th century. She continues to inspire a lot of fashion trends and will eternally be remembered as a style icon and a woman who inspired many generations.

“ My life didn’t please me, so I created my ife”, true to her words the very famous Coco channel made her life and career with sheer will and determination. She will not only be in our hearts eternally for giving us the little black dress, but for being a true modernist and a pioneer for women in an era when they were not yet liberated. Today Channel is a multi milliondollor company and as fierce as their founder Coco Channel.

“ Elegance is the only beauty that never fades”., inspiring words by the very elegant purple eyed beauty, Audray Hepburn. Hollywood star, model and a woman of many talents, she has been named the greatest female star of all time. But she was much more, awarded the presidential medal of freedom in recognition of her work with UNICEF, she was well respected and adored by many. The black Givenchy dress, worn by Audrey Hepburn in the romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany’s will always be a classicand continues to be an inspiration for many designers and movie makers.

Not only did these women redefine fashion and class, they owned the world with their sass and character proving that you can be a beauty as well as brains. They took on a world full of doubts and challenges and told the world their story instead of letting the world write theirs. Whats yourstory?

Get inspired.

Breathe, standup straight, and look in the mirror. See that beautiful face? Let her be your inspiration, your hero. She is all you need.

Be her, don’t be that person everyone else wants you to be, they don’t know you or your story. Own yourself because baby no one can or should. Remember who picked you up when you fell down hard, yes you did it! You saved yourself, don’t be ashamed of those scars, flaunt them. You have so much power, embrace it. Let the world know your story, don’t hide behind those robes, society forced on you. Let your style speak your personality.

 Want to wear all black, go for it, want a tattoo, what are you waiting for? Think your soul belongs to the 80’s, go vintage girl. There is no right or wrong in fashion, fashion is personal, not merely a style statement, not just a mass trend. It shouts to the world, it lets it know who you are. It tells your story. And who better to inspire you, then yourself because only you know the truth, only you know your untold secrets, your fears, your wins, your desires, so who should know your style?

As truthfully said by Anais Nin, “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

So don’t live the small life, don’t be afraid of who you are and who you can be because you own it to that girl looking at you through the mirror, don’t let her down. Get inspired!!!

Widely regarded as India's first supermodel, Lakshmi Menon has worked with the fashion world's leading names from Jean Paul Gaultier to Hermés and is on the books of Storm – the agency that represents Kate Moss and Lily Cole.

It is said that having an attractive face makes a person beautiful. But other than an attractive face there are many other factors by which a person becomes beautiful like, being intelligent, a nice at heart person, being emotionally strong, and if the person has his or her own fashion statement, his talent makes him beautiful.

The word 'gori' – which literally means fair and has become a byword for a beautiful woman – is still very much a part of the lexicon of Hindi film. It is “higher” than high time we wake up and come out of this “fair’ myth. 

The person who is always positive about everything in life, a smiling face makes a person beautiful. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. It is a subjective vision, a unique perspective that reflects our internal perception. Our individual memories consider certain things to be comforting or beautiful; for others, these same images may seem mundane or even unattractive.

“I always tried to change the world; ultimately I ended up changing myself, and then the world changed automatically”, any attempt at changing the world that does not begin with internal change will ultimately fail. 

Moreover, Beauty lies in the person who has his/ her fashion statement. Whatever they put, whatever they mix match it looks stylish and that’s their beauty of changing the person overall in no time.
Finally, the true beauty lies in the uniqueness of each one of us. It’s being accepting who you are rather than trying to chase a never ending unrealistic race of being who you are not. Our body is the amazing gift; appreciating and respecting all the things it will ultimately help us to feel more positive about us. So just be yourself!
