Eunice Lee
Occupation: Owner, Unis
Male Style Equivalent: Jake Davis
Even before she started up one of the best menswear brands around, Eunice Lee has been engulfed in the menswear world for many, many years. So it's only fitting that the Unis owner would make menswear not only be a part of her life, but a part of her everyday wardrobe. Finding her in one of her men's signature pieces isn't unusual and that isn't a bad thing, either.
Lanie Alabanza
Occupation: Designer, Hellz Bellz
Male Style Equivalent: Ian Connor
One of the reigning queens of streetwear never hesitates to mix men's gear into her style. Laina kills it whether she's dressing a little more monotone, classical with something jazzing it up, or going full H.A.M. and getting jiggy. Either way, it's always street and it's always seeping with her own, personal style.
Mimi Fukuyoshi
Occupation: VP of Men's Sportswear, Bergdorf Goodman
Male Style Equivalent: Yasiin Bey
As the VP of Men's Sportswear at one of best stores in the world, it's no wonder Mimi Fukuyoshi has the scoop on the hottest menswear shit. Her modus operandi is taking that insight and converting it into a more feminine approach.
Jenna Lyons
Occupation: Creative Director, J. Crew
Male Style Equivalent: Nick Wooster
Jenna Lyons has cake, bruh. And when you have cake, you have the opportunity to take as many style risks as you damn well please. Even though she is the creative director for a more classic menswear brand, don't be shocked to catch her rocking some dope, trendy menswear you probably won't find in J. Crew.
Rita Ora
Occupation: Singer
Male Style Equivalent: A$AP Rocky
The sexiness that Rita Ora exudes isn't always when she's wearing a sleek dress accentuating her assets. Sometimes, it's when she's leaving the club dressed down in some straight up trill men's clothing. She can pull it off because of her confidence and happy-go-lucky attitude towards life. Well, and because she has the style to know what's dope.
Mademoiselle Yulia
Occupation: Singer and designer
Male Style Equivalent: Jeremy Scott
The Tokyo-born musician and jewelry designer is not only one of the most stylish females around, but one of the most stylish people, period. Her futuristic style had her rocking KTZ before Kanye had even taken a whiff of the brand. Mademoiselle Yulia's definition of "wild style" is simply not on the same level as ours.
Margaret Howell
Occupation: Owner, Margaret Howell
Male Style Equivalent: Glenn O'Brien
Everything about Margaret Howell is classic; her designs, her interviews and, of course, her personal style. It's doubtful you'll find her in a dainty dress or flowy blouse. She loves to incorporate the aesthetics she's using in her current designs into her own menswear-inspired wardrobe. And it's always so very on point.
Vashtie
Occupation: Director, Filmmaker, DJ, Artist, Designer
Male Style Equivalent: Frank Ocean
Vashtie does it all. She makes films. She designs. She directs. She makes dudes wish they could own her Supreme collection. Her personal style is super organic and naturally cool, which stems from relationships she's established with big names like Jebbia, Stussy, and more. How can one's style not come from a place of awesomeness when you're in with the cool kids?
Cara Delevingne
Occupation: Model
Male Style Equivalent: Kanye West
The model/DJ/icon is everywhere at all times, it seems. Half the time, she's walking the runway with those cat-like eyes and playful smile. The other half? She's acting mad ratchet in some menswear making everyone jelly. The model of the moment is constantly in relaxed-looking but deceivingly luxe gear, and is able to mix in accessible streetwear with the high-end gear she takes down the runway.
Rei Kawakubo
Occupation: Designer, Comme des Garçons
Male Style Equivalent: None.
Rei Kawakubo's influence on the fashion world is transcendent, and goes beyond most folks regardless of gender. Her own personal style is comparable to none. She is the absolute epitome of cool. No one else has so looked so effortlessly chic, masculine, and progresive all at once, which is why she is without equal.
