Carly Simon
This summer, fashion is having a Carly Simon moment. The musician, hippie rock goddess and self-confessed Mick Jagger lookalike, who penned anthems like You\'re So Vain and Nobody Does It Better, was the girl who made fringing, floaty kaftans and gladiator sandals a look to lust after back in the \'70s. In acknowledgement of her contribution to our 2008 wardrobe, we celebrate some of her best looks of this celebrity fashion icon. Danielle Radojcin.
