The Icon

So if you turned on a television since yesterday, I am sure you have become of aware of the death of Elizabeth Taylor. At 79 years old she was a spunky old woman, but surely in her youth she was not only a beauty but a fashion icon. She lived "old-school hollywood glamour" and her attire certainly embodies the 50s trends runways attempt to mimic today. The photographs of her and her sense of style seem to almost transport us in a time warp, a place where 1950 is real and the silk scarf is everywhere.

To get an authentic feel of some of the 50s trends on the runway now, check out these photographs of the late actress:
