La Roux's Elly Jackson- Style Icon

One of my favorite artists by far is Elly Jackson from La Roux. Her techno kind of electric pop music is what always gets me u beat and I am in love with her unique, one of a kind voice. I love listening to her and my favorites from her last album is Going In For The Kill, Quick Sand, Bulletproof and Im Not Your Toy. Her voice is what propels me into constantly listening to all her songs. Each song has a different meaning behind it and her high pitched voice is what inspires me. Along with her phenomenal voice is her amazing style which also inspires me. Her red haired mo hock is what is so iconic and it drew me in as soon as I saw the cover of her first album. She's not afraid to take risks at all and her hair is what shows  off her personality and quirky style. What fascinates me is her ability to sing and have songs that are top hits while still maintaining her style and the way she presents her self both in person when performing live as well as music videos. She is known for her bold, statement jackets such as  her one of a kind blazers with small details and sequences as well as leather motorcycle style jackets. At times she also has a vintage style feel to her because of the vintage style long necklace and it always happens to compliment whatever outfit she is wearing. I recently happened to find an interview she's in on style.com and she explained to the interviewer that if one was to have a hairstyle just like hers they would have to incoperate their style with what their wearing so that it could complement the hair. She explained that "you can't just have this particular hair style I have if your not going to wear anything that complements it" meaning that you can't just assume that your compensating the hair style you have in terms of what you are wearing but you have to work around it and find amazing statement pieces that will complement that amazing hair style that you have, you can't just not have any sense of style at all. I loved the way she explained that and this will definitely be a motto I will live by as I am in the process of developing my own personal style.
