Style Icon - Stevie Nicks

Pin It

With summer festival season upon us, and images from Coachella being flung at us from every direction (me included) the second in my Style Icons series features the queen of rock Stevie Nicks. She epitomised 70s and 80s style with an effortless take on bohemian folksy dressing, and is still an inspiration today. Floaty white dresses and boho headgear are some of the most-worn pieces at festivals today and Stevie was arguably the pioneer of this style. So take a gander at some of my favourite images of the woman herself in her Fleetwood Mac heyday and I also take a look at the effect this style icon had on today's fashion.

Inspiring stuff. Now check out the modern day take on boho style.

And to really get you in the mood, here is some musical accompaniment from Miss Nicks.
