Icons of Style: Charli XCX

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

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.
