Sybil's Pick...
1970's
If I hadn't been a youngster in the late 70's, you would have found me hanging out at Studio 54 in NYC. Glamorous, naughty and housing a club full of some of the most creatives of the day (need I even say Basquiat and Warhol), fashionistas (Diana Vreeland) and the infamous hotelier Ian Schrager in his younger hey day. I would have liked to attend Bianca Jagger's birthday party or the infamous New Years Party where supposedly 4 tons of glitter was dumped on the dance floor. Thankfully, our modern day SJP is the designer spearhead behind Halston Heritage, bringing back memories of a time that lived on the vibrant dance floor.

Laura's Pick... 1930's
From a style perspective, I am a big fan of the 30s when Gabrielle Chanel was at the height of building the iconic House of Chanel brand. Her work was so innovative (jersey, separates, pant suits, statement jewelry) and her designs paved the way for the elegant bohemian style that is still so current today. She is my ultimate style icon. Here are some amazing pieces from the 1930s that were recently featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Chanel Retrospective.

Leslie's Pick...
1960's
The demure, conservative style of the 1950's held on well into the 60's but with a sexier slant. The skirts got tighter, the silhouette shapelier and the women much more glamorous. My ultimate style icon from the day is the beautiful Grace Kelly. We can thank shows like Mad Men for bringing the 60's style back into the limelight and back into our closets.
