Fashion and politics have never been two genres of life to really integrate, possibly because its seemingly a male dominated profession, and honestly how excited can we get over several dark toned suits on a bunch of middle-aged men? However since Michelle Obama created a name for herself with her elegant yet iconic way of dressing at the side of the most powerful man across the pond, we are starting to see a lot more of our own politicians spouses hit the tabloids in a not so fashionable frenzy. As the general elections begin to loom we see Cameron, Brown and the other one hit the media with force, but this year it is not just the candiates themselves pounding the papers but their wives too... Question is can they really do it like Michelle? And if so, who will out dress who in out newest election battle outside of the ballot box?

And the candidates for 'best dressed politicians arm-candy are'-

As the Spring Summer ad campaigns fly onto the glossy pages of our magazines its interesting to look at them as a collective and get to know the faces behind the image...

Brand- Burberry
Models- Emma Watson, her younger brother Alex Watson and Max Hurd.
Photographer- Mario Testini

Emma reappears yet again this spring for Burberry's classic ad campaign, only this time she's enlisted the help of her younger brother in a successful attempt to launch his modelling career. Alongside these ridiculously attractive creatures pose Max Hurd (featured left), George Craig and Matt Gilmour.

The gorgeous 18 year old Max Hurd grew up in Brazil and is none other than the grandson of Lord Douglas Hurd, foreign secretory for both Thatcher and Major- A well matched link to the iconic English brand.
Fellow model George Craig is the lead vocalist of band 'One Night Only' as well as part, while Matt Gilmour's new to industry and is also being headed by this seemingly simple campaign.

Brand- Dior
Model- Karlie Kloss
Photographer- Steven Meisel

Dior's poster girl of the season is 17 year old Karlie Kloss, ranked 8th on the top model's woman list. Kloss already has an overly successful line on achievements under her belt, not only is she signed to Elite Model Management and has appeared on the cover of American Vogue, she's also walked on numerous prestige catwalks and advertised for Nina Ricci, Chloe, Lacoste and Marc Jacobs to name a few. This young American's career seems unstoppable at present as she consistently re-appears on our pages.

Not only is it enough to become the face of Fendi for 2010, but to be shot by one other than Karl Lagerfeld? Now that's a little too much, right? Then again Rubik, 24, is not just any model, no she's borderline top model.

2009 has been an interesting year in terms of celebrity style, we've watched as Lady GaGa's gone GooGoo over any item deemed un-wearable by the masses, Madonna's pranced around in even smaller garments than when she was in her 20's and on a rather more positive note, many unexpected fashion IT girls have emerged both across the pond and closer to home bringing fashion a new lease of life.

Taylor Momsen

Taylor is often over looked in the Gossip Girl style wars, what with co-stars Blake and Leighten consistently never failing to put a Louboutin fashioned food wrong. But with a role in of America's hottest teen drama's and a cast closet to die for Momsen seems to have made it, all at just the tender age of 16. Over the past year we've watched Taylor's style mature into an edgy, well constructed trend of her own with a prominent twist of individuality. I have a feeling that this young starlet's career is only just beginning to blossom, and similarly so is her style.

Lily Allen This lady has come a long way from the party dress and trainer collaboration, the symbolic style statement our very own princess of pop initiated alongside her successful career. 2009 seemed to be the year that Lily Allen decided to develop into a mature individual, and of course her fashion followed swiftly behind. Not only did she make an appearance at Chanel's Spring collection catwalk in Paris, but she also starred in their classically produced yet true to character add campaign, a privilege not many can say they have experienced. This year has been the year that Allen has removed herself from many worst-dressed lists and even placed herself on a few best-dressed, and I think this trend is only to continue into 2010 as she discovers what truly suits and flatters her image.

RihannaRihanna has encountered a lot over the past twelve months, so much so that it may have destroyed any less of an individual, but not this determined young singer. She has bounced back with such a force that it wasn't just the music industry that felt the tremors, no Rihanna's shocking style has introduced her to an entirely new type of recognition, one as an influential style symbol- think Lady Gaga with a touch of class. At 21 years of age, and a career which seems indestructible, this inspirational girl is becoming a woman, a well dressed, dangerously stylish woman, who isn't afraid to express her individuality through fashion.

Olivia PalermoKnown over here for here role in 'the Hill's' spin of show 'the City' Olivia Palermo's character has come under somewhat scrutiny of recent, however the more we see of her, be it on our screen's or in our magazine's, the less we focus on her slightly severe, career climbing behaviour and the more we devote our attention to her impeccable clothing collection. This unexpected American socialite seems to have stolen our fashion hearts with her classic style and ability to co-ordinate. Throughout 2009 Olivia and her flawlessly finished style has wormed her way in amongst the fashion elite to claim her crown.

Jessica Stroup

Stroup's career truly kicked off last year with her landing a role in the his US drama 90210, and since then her sense of style has began to develop from playschool preppy into a slightly more adult, rock chic. Not one known particularly well for her attire over here, Stroup has slipped under our fashion radar. A mistake i truly hope can be corrected in 2010 as she is fast joining the Olsen twin grunge trend that just fails to work on any individual simply not famous. With a nudge in the right direction and the coverage needed for that true iconic recognition Stroup could emerge the best dressed amongst her designer clad co-stars this year.
