Icons of Style: Charli XCX - The story of a fashion legend

Genre trailblazer in both music and fashion, Charli XCX is revising the rules on self-expression as a popstar.

From the bright patterns of the 2010s to the grungy, hyperpop style of Brat Summer, Charli XCX has reigned over the cool-girl aesthetic on stage and in the club for over a decade. Discovering the foundations of her style in the London rave scene, it would lead to the rebellious, asymmetrical layers and dark leathers of her current looks, always accessorised with sunglasses - indoors, of course.

With this beautifully illustrated guide to her style trajectory, key looks and signature pieces, explore the high-energy, innovative and edgy world of Charli XCX's style.
