Pixie Lott Fashion Icon

By Abigail Collins


If you were to name fashion icons of the moment, a 20yr old singer would be a surprise choice among the older and more accomplished names but not if you dropped the name of that singer to be Pixie Lott. First hitting the charts just two years ago with the song 'Mama Do', she has since enjoyed fame and fortune as one of the most promising youngsters not just in music but in fashion too; and it is the fun and care-free look of Pixie Lott that embodies Pixie Lott herself.

At just 20yrs old, however, Pixie has become more than just a chart-topper; she is a fashion icon who is adored by her fans and who promotes a healthy and fresh image of individuality over trend-slavery when it comes to clothes and jewellery. A champion of the high-street, Pixie is always seen making the best use of cheaper retail brands over inaccessible designer ones and it is this that has helped her appeal with many people, who feel that the affordable Pixie Lott look is within reach. On the back of this appeal, the clothing brand Lipsy was on hand to help the singer launch her own range of reasonably-priced designer clothes that can be bought and enjoyed by the public.

Pixie is a regular for many A-List events, turning out for the Ashish Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show in her own recognised style among her older glamour peers and easily holding her own. Wearing a frock and slender jewellery to accentuate her looks, it's little wonder why her range of designer clothes is so popular as the Lipsy-brand goes from strength to strength in bringing the Pixie look to her many fans and beyond. Floral print is the style for Pixie's Spring/Summer 2011 line, with light colours and the high hemlines that have helped cement her status as a fashion icon.

It's not all been smooth sailing, though, as a slightly embarrassing fashion meltdown at the Glam awards last year can attest, but Pixie has generally been consistent with her look and prefers the look over the label. She claims that she would not wear anything she feels uncomfortable in just because it bears a designer label and is known for getting her cosmetics and clothes from high-street stores rather than top name brands. She regularly shares her passion for jewellery with her fans, doling out fashion and cosmetic tips about where to buy and how to apply.

Perhaps for this reason, homegrown Pixie has always been an outspoken champion for the British fashion scene, voicing her preference for it over foreign designer brands. In her experiments to create new looks, Pixie revealed that she will veer more toward certain items of jewellery regardless of the look, such as chunky rings with a gaudy stone or slender and subtle necklaces to bring out her charming features.

More recently, Pixie has made a splash at the Isle of Wight festival sporting a playful blue playsuit replete with the jewellery she so loves. Her advice for festival goers was to use necklaces as hairbands as she sang her bit for the festival, receiving praise for her good performance both musically and for fashion.

Over everything else, Pixie appears to prefer playfulness in preparing a look and would happily put together nice parts and not have to worry about the whole it makes. Not even the weather could distract Pixie from wearing whatever she wanted at the Isle of Wight festival, sticking out the cold rain in her summery clothes to perform for an adulating audience.

The story of Pixie Lott is exciting because it is just beginning. Having skirted the pitfalls that has seen many a teen idol fall into obscurity, Pixie is making her permanent mark on the industry and looks set to have a long and vibrant career ahead of her. Adorable looks, style, and superb choices in jewellery have been combined with a talented singing voice and the kind of attitude that lifts people's spirits; fashion and music may never be the same again.
