Motel Student Ambassador Kathryn from Southampton Solent University tells us about her style icon.

Glenda Bailey is a fashion icon, but not for her image. As the editor in chief of Harper’s Bazaar, and a past editor of Marie Claire, you expect her to be a head to toe trendsetter, unfortunately this has never been the case. She’s a perfectionist when it comes to the job, but just doesn’t fit the image bill. As a person, I love her style: she’s independent, powerful and has worked her way into the one of the most sought after jobs in the fashion media industry; why wouldn’t you admire her?

I imagine Glenda wearing a combination of Motel’s Evelyn Peg Leg Trouser in Wine paired with the Motel Laurel Tartan Chiffon Shirt in Grey Check. It’s stylish, and can take you from the office to the bar with the swift addition of some heels. It isn’t too far from something Glenda would be seen wearing, but with a dash of colour and a pinch of pattern it takes her straight into the 21^st Century. The dusky wine of the trousers helps the otherwise dull base colour of the shirt to pop. Roll the sleeves up, open the top few buttons and add a brightly coloured belt to keep it sexy and versatile. These pieces are easily worn together or apart, and will fit perfectly into your Winter wardrobe.
