    Whoever thought sequins couldn't be minimalist never came across the designs of Sophie Hulme! Directly out of design school, the Brit started her own line for Fall '08. After a few seasons of gaining steam, her wares are now sold around the world and online at Revolve Clothing. The line fuses together masculine, minimalist cuts with some girly flash. Military-style anoraks and bomber jackets are dripping in sequins that totally up their glamour factor. The collection is punctuated with cool utilitarian accessories as well. Quilted backpacks and sequined harnesses as well some limited edition jewelry add to the "boyish with flair" charm of the line. Each piece of clothing also comes with a special trinket that changes every season. The purpose, you ask? After a few collections, you'll have enough to make your own Sophie Hulme charm bracelet. Check out the slideshow to see some of the line!

    Influential International Style: Lily Allen

    Lily Allen, pop's talkative, oversharing princess, is a serious style maven. Showing a clear penchant for luxury brands like Chanel, Prada and Yves San Laurent, yet comfortable wearing Chucks and a cartoonish headband with them, she certainly has a look all her own. In the same way that Madonna did in the 1980's, Lily Allen is probably owed back royalties for style "ideas" taken and mass-produced at Urban Outfitters. How does she do it? She starts with a beautiful piece, no matter if it's a gorgeous top or a fantastic prom-style dress. She brightens the outfit with colored accessories and bold, thick bling.

    Influential International Style: Kate Winslet

    Kate Winslet made a serious splash this awards season, and I'm not just talking about taking home all the most coveted hardware and, quite remarkably on its own, being nominated in supporting and leading categories for two different films. On the red carpet, Kate made heads turn. Favoring solid colors and classic shapes, Kate always picks looks that flatter her hourglass figure. Her style is defined by clean lines (she is rarely photographed in patterns) but carries just enough interest to keep us constantly wondering what she'll wear next. Whether its Zac Posen, Dolce & Gabbana, Carmen Marc Valvo or Escada, she always looks good.

    At first blush to all of our US readers, the name Jemima Khan may not ring a bell. However, the fabulously dressed British socialite and writer has been a fixture on the high style scene since the 1990's. Once married to cricket player Imran Khan, and a former long term girlfriend of Hugh Grant, Khan had her front row seat reserved at fashion shows way before through her titled mother, Lady Annabel and her financier father Sir James Michael Goldsmith. With a social calendar as jam-packed as hers, Jemima Khan is dressed to the nines day in and day out. Says Khan, "I couldn't define my style -- that's impossible. I like comfort and elegance with a bit of glamour thrown in. If I like something, I'll wear it for years." Great advice to only purchase items you really love!

    Influential International Style: Emma Watson

    Knowing full-well that she could take advantage of an Invisibility Cloak at any given moment, Emma Watson's status as a rising international style icon is even more impressive. The Harry Potter star is all grown up, and as the new face of the House of Chanel, is rumored to also be replacing Keira Knightley as the face of Burberry. How does a wizard rise to a style queen seemingly overnight? By choosing classic shapes, flattering neutrals, and always looking age appropriate. Whether it's a risk of length or a gorgeous backless gown, there is always a little something extra to Emma Watson's red carpet looks. Also catapulting her into success? Refusing to follow makeup trends and instead choosing flattering shimmers, and backing it all up with a classic updo or soft waves for a hairstyle.

    Influential International Style: Kate Moss

    It's no coincidence that Kate Moss is always 2-3 months ahead of the curve. She sets the curve, and designers scramble to put clothes on the market that mimic her eclectic, always surprising style. Moss seems to live by only one key rule of fashion, which is to wear beautiful clothes authentically. She seems to effortlessly throw together outfits that you never think would work. Whether it's layering neutrals over grey skinny jeans and red booties (months before anyone is even wearing black ones!), sporting heavily layered jewelry, or throwing a blazer over anything, Moss keeps visual interest without seeming over-dressed. She always seems comfortable, her clothes look tailored to fit her body, and you most often see her wearing flats. Her lesson to be learned is wear what makes you feel comfortable. Fun fact: Moss is only 5'7", and though very slight, her style can be mixed and matched to flatter many body types! Check out my slideshow for ways to adopt Kate Moss's eclectic style!
