One word comes to mind when we think of Katherine Hepburn: Strong. Because that dynamic persona eclipsed her astute fashion sense, this Hepburn usually rates second billing to Givenchy's muse and mannequin, Audrey Hepburn. Make no mistake, Kate Hepburn was and still is a fashion icon. She set her own personal style on and off screen. Wearing pants and bringing sportswear into the everyday fashion arena for women was the biggest trend she pioneered. Her basic Kate Hepburn look was made up of wide legged pants, a button down shirt with tailored jacket and a chic pair of loafers Despite that masculine style she created, she kept her wavy, long locks, slim figure and femininity in tact, making her all the more glam and truly, KATE.
