This month we are celebrating Black History month. We are celebrating iconic Women who have legendary style. The late Coretta Scott King is the opening lady for our series this month. Her style is not only iconic but it also passes the test of time. Even in her old age Coretta Scott King remained stylish.

Not only was Coretta Scott King the fuel that led a movement but her style was also impeccable while doing so. Mrs.King's look is very simple, feminine, modest, classy as well as timeless. Coretta wore very simple jewelry and accentuating head pieces in order to accent her classic tailored clothing. She had many dresses and skirts in her wardrobe that added a very feminine touch to her look. She wore detailed, classic, tailored looks that really spoke for the time period of the Civil Rights movement.

Every single photo where Mrs.King is pictured, she always looks like she is dressed to lead a movement. There is not a single photo of Mrs.King being underdressed, she was always dressed for the occasion. This woman completely revolutionized history and did so with style & grace. We would like to honor the late Coretta Scott King for all her labor in the Civil Rights movement and exemplary style. She definitely exemplifies the 21st century woman.

"I'm fulfilled in what I do. I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes - the finer things of life - would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense." -Coretta Scott King
