Icons
As Marie Claire commemorates a very special birthday, we're celebrating all things 25. For our extra-special anniversary issue, we put together a fantastic portfolio with photographer Rankin, of the British Icons of our time - women from the worlds of fashion, film, food, drama and politics whose careers have gone stratospheric since 1988, alongside the up-and-coming talent who will be entertaining and inspiring us in the coming years. Online, we have rounded up 25 of the most iconic moments from the worlds of fashion (the catwalk moments that will take your breath away), film (25 movie couple we'll never forget) art and culture, packed with glossy pictures, gorgeous videos, and more. Happy Birthday to us.
