This Week's Icon: James Dean
James Dean (February 8, 1931- December 30, 1955) is not only a style icon but cultural icon. His most loved role was in Rebel Without a Cause in 1955 where he played a troubled Los Angeles teenager. A plain white T-shirt and denim jeans with slick hair, his trademarked style, has transformed into today's most go-to street look on both men and women. Although Dean died before his time shortly after the release of Rebel Without a Cause, his influence on American menswear lives on.
