September 14 GET THE LOOK: Katharine Hepburn

Winner of four Oscars (more than any other actor), Kate Hepburn was in 52 films and 33 plays in a career that spanned seven decades. She portrayed an independent and self-confident woman, capable of standing up to her male leads. Hepburn’s style, honesty and strength of character have influenced several generations of women to be more educated, more independent and more active.

Trousers (high-waisted and full-cut) were key to her personal style, and she was happiest in tennis shoes or loafers and sportswear. Button down shirts usually topped her trousers. She might sometimes wear a blazer, a menswear-style coat, sweater or jacket.

Thanks for looking!
 
I am going to shoot a couple more items within the next few days, but to start, a dress by Ivan Frederics, in my web store here. I think it has a handsome, sportswear-inspired look that Kate might like:
