Celebrity style secrets: Irene Kim’s graphic black-and-white look is perfect for summer

When the time comes to reflect on the year’s most iconic trends, monochrome will no doubt make the list. Whether it’s the spring’s beige suit fervour or the classic black-and-white combination making a comeback at the latest Chanel show, it’s a direction that has stood the test of time. It’s simple, it’s chic, it’s slick.

However, part of the reason for monochrome’s longevity as a style is due to its constant reinvention. Designers, models and artists are constantly dreaming up ways to push the black-and-white envelope. And Irene Kim‘s recent outfit post gives us another reason to rethink the monochromatic look. Known for being an all-around model, beauty guru, fashion blogger and everyone’s favourite street-style star, the bona fide fashion icon and creative director of the IreneIsGood label preaches the power of femininity and personal style. Never has that been clearer than when she took to social media this summer to debut an inimitable look or two.
