Elle of the Ball: Caught on the wrong side of mortality and youth

In continuation of the Style commemoration I give you the people I believe have the potential to begin to, or continue to influence the next decade of style and fashion.

2010's Style

Carine Roitfield and those behind the scenes of the fashion industry

Carine is incredible, so too is Emmanuelle Alt and Giovanna Battaglia and Anna Wintour and so on so forth. I find it incredible that women who are so influential in the process of bringing the catwalk to our living room (or even dentist waiting room), the people who essentially make fashion accessible, are so greatly unappreciated as style icons themselves. This should indeed be the decade where these women come out from beyond the pages of the magazines and become recognisible beyond thesartorialist.com or style.com and allow their own personal style to influence the masses.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

She can steal her mothers clothes. Nuff said.

Suri Cruise

She's 3, she wears heels. It's gonna be big.

Lila Grace Moss

See Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

Lily Collins

One of the Nickelodeon crew. They beat the Disney mob, in that they can come out the other side of the association with the network relatively unscathed style wise.

Michelle Obama

The woman is class personified. Plus with another few years in the White House I'm sure she has some beautiful outfits lined up. Plus she already has a Vogue cover under her belt. Plus shes a contender in the race against Carla Bruni for most stylish first lady. Plus I love her.

Nicola Roberts

I live in the vain hope that, should Girls Aloud get back together, people will realise that Nicola Roberts is, in fact the most stylish member of the band and, that Cheryl Cole has a frickin' stylist!!

Dakota Fanning

Came into focus in the New Moon promotional tour but, also had an incredible Teen Vogue shoot which, although I'm aware it was not self-styled, it was just so fabulous that it deserves a mention. Plenty more to come from this one me thinks.

The Bloggers

Style blogs only really became uber relevant in the last decade and, as far as I can tell that is only set to continue into the next decade. It's hard to pick a selection to mention so instead I'll name no names!
