Polka Dot Cat purrs at the icons

It will come as no surprise when you view the Holiday 2012 collection from Polka Dot Cat that the designer, Rana Jamshed, is inspired by vintage icons of yore. Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe all appear in her list of iconic inspirations.

From backless gowns with thigh high slits to leopard print numbers, the Holiday collection isn’t going on just any holiday – it’s time travelling back to the elegance of the 1960s. And not least does the look book’s hair and makeup stand out as being inspiration for right now.
