Who: Ali MacGraw, 1970s fashion icon, award-winning actress, yoga devotee and Steve McQueen’s better half through much of the 70s.

Her look: Ali’s dark brows, sun-kissed skin and centre-parted hair signaled a shift towards a more relaxed and natural style in the early 70s and marked the beginnings of the classic, all-American look. Her penchant for knits layered up with oversized scarves, camel coats, flares, beanies and headscarves have become a trademark. Personally we’re feeling the love for her more pared back looks such as striped tops, simple Tees and strappy, belted dresses.

How to wear it now: Slip into a Breton-inspired Tee, like our striped tee Killamanjaro or long sleeved Striped Tee serengetti and team it with a pair of ankle grazing cigarette pants for an instant 2013 update something little more laid back yet ultra modern why not try the complementary clash stripes our adis ababa print trousers teamed with boots
