Fashionisters to Watch for #Deux

by B Condon 8:38 PM

I couldn't help but notice the high numbers in the original "Fashionisters to watch for" and how much time has gone by in the "It Girl" fashion and who is in and who is out (but let's not write off anyone in the last list. It's just been announced today that Elizabeth Olsen is Nylon's October Cover Girl!!!)

Florence Welch

Since the 2010 release of Lungs, Florence Welch has been seen as a tribal answer to Stevie Nicks in song and hasn't been looked at too closely until this summer for her fashion ventures. July's Nylon AND Bust Cover Girl is getting more attention for hippyster (somewhere between hippy and hipster) looks of flowing ethereal dresses from "Where the Water Gave Me" to extreme elegance on her cover of the Shake it Out Single to even solid hipster which she modeled in both magazines. I have a feeling there's a fashion line in her future.

Jessica Chastain

More commonly known as the ditzy Celia Foote from the summer chick-flick blockbuster, "The Help," Jessica finally got her break and has been launched into the Hollywood limelight. While she has not been under the microscope known as Joan Rivers-headed "Fashion Police" just yet, she's already gracing photo shoots as a red-headed answer to Grace Kelly to simple elegant and sleek dresses on the red carpet of awaiting film projects like Wild Salome (which is on my list) and the recently unleashed "The Debt."

Riley Keough

Although better known to be apart of the supporting cast of rock-bio-pic "The Runaways" as Dakota Fanning's older sister, Marie Currie, Keough is finally bursting out of her grandfather's shadow, Elvis Presley as well as her mother's shadow Lisa Marie Presley Lockwood, but that's a whole another rock-bio-pic in itself. And that's a pretty big shadow, but with roles like "Jack and Diane" and "Kiss of the Damned" with hipster rocker Jay Brannan she'll be 2012's It Girl. Do not question me!  What about fashion, you ask? There are small remnants of her rocker lineage but Rley manages to be subtly rocker. A girl after my own heart. I wish I was Juno Temple in "Jack and Diane" so she could make out with me!

Nina Dobrev

 

Dobrev is the veteran of this list, with a career spanning all the way back to being an extra in the original ten minute movie of "Repo! The Genetic Opera" in 2006 and already two seasons of "Vampire Diaries" (my vampire-guilty pleasure) under her belt; her fashion at long last has been unleashed on the red carpet at this year's Emmy Awards wearing a red Donna Karan gown as a presenter which is considered lower rank on the Hollywood food chain. But her looks certainly don't say lower rank. Aside the red carpet, like in Nylon's September edition she brought some sexy flannel fire.
