The Punk Queen and "Karlsson-on-the-Roof": The 5 Most Bizarre and Influential Women in Fashion

Some things are fashionable, like the wholesale optimization of processes, robotization, and the need to download 20Bet mobile app for iPhone and Android. Something is out of fashion, like a skirt over jeans, and something like a sense of style and intuition is forever. So, contrary to the stereotype that you can only succeed in the fashion industry as a young and slender beauty under six feet, our heroines have become not only recognized style icons, but also some of the most influential people in the fashion world.

Lynn Yeager

Tutu skirts, crazy makeup with painted lips, and a bright red braid with short bangs - Yaeger calls herself a "giant elf" as a joke, the uninitiated take her for an urban madwoman, but in reality, Lynn is one of the most influential fashion journalists. All the fashion houses have opened their doors to her and she is always in the front rows at fashion shows. She knows all about trends and trendsetters but has remained true to her distinctive style for many years.

Comical Lynn says, "I'd rather spend a week in jail or the hospital than attend another Fashion Week. Don't you think it's just like high school? Streamlined, class-like, intermittent shows and bitchy gals - I can't stand it! But, somehow, the prospect of missing High Fashion Week every year doesn't make me happy either!"

Susie Menkes

Another recognized star of global fashion journalism is Susie Menkes. While casual passers-by in fashion capitals sneeringly call her "Carlson" has been writing incisive articles about fashion for over 30 years, and iconic designers do not start showing their collections without her and anxiously await her appraisal.

Michelle Lamy

Michelle Lamy is the wife and muse of designer Rick Owens, whose collections are beloved by all fans of minimalist fashion. Little is known about Michelle's biography, and her infernal style arouses a variety of emotions, from admiration to horror. Lamy adores massive antique rings, does impressive gothic makeup every day, paints her fingers with black paint (for her dislike of nail polish, by her admission), and wears unusual clothes. By Rick Owens, of course.

Vivienne Westwood

The punk queen was not once called crazy and Westwood was even in trouble with the law because of her unique style. But despite all the troubles and slanted views, Vivienne is still true to herself and does not recognize any rules and boring traditions, which confirms not only the appearance of the designer, but also her collections, which each time become the subject of heated debate, but do not leave anyone indifferent.

She is no longer a punk, but still incredibly socially active. She stands up for animal rights, for saving the Arctic, and against unemployment in Africa. And not just in words. Vivienne was filmed naked in the shower for her RETA video - the video is meant to explain how the meat processing industry affects the consumption of water. And to draw attention to the problem of global warming she shaved her head.

Anna Dello Russo

"Gets" from the harsh public and Anna Dello Russo, known for her love for tanning and the strangest things exclusively from new collections. But the famous Italian woman does not think to listen to detractors, and even more to respond to their criticism - "free" fashion editor and creative consultant of the Japanese magazine Vogue continues to walk her extravagant images on fashion weeks, smiling widely at the lenses of photographers.

Anna regularly appears in the world's fashion shows, showing outfits from the latest collections, which emphasize a unique, bright, and flamboyant style that does not leave anyone indifferent.
