the real role models...

Glamour Magazine has done some recreations of recognizable style icons. Normally, fashion and strong women do not necessarily go hand in hand. When one thinks of fashion magazines, they picture the stick thin young girls plastered all over those magazine covers. But this caught my attention because we get to see both strong and stylish females that have left a mark on the world, not only fashion.
The famous icons have been portrayed by some of today's young Hollywood crowd.

"You can do anything! That’s the message of the seven decades of female risk takers, rule breakers and style makers here. We celebrate them with the help of some very-2009 young talents."

Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter.


Alicia Keys as First Lady Michelle Obama.


America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta.


There was more, the women of Woodstock, Madonna(though personally I am not a fan), Audrey Hepburn... but these three women stood out. Rosie the Riveter has become THEE image for feminism all around. Dolores Huerta overcame that "double bind" that women during that time faced and is personally the kind of Chicana that I look up to. She was fierce advocate for migrant farmers, Huerta cofounded, with César Chávez the United Farm Workers of America. Plus I had the pleasure to meet her and she is the nicest lady ever. And no list can be complete without Michelle Obama, who is becoming a symbol for strong women as we speak.
