Netherlands-based fashion student and blogger Iris Gravemaker of Fashion Zen plays the style game by her own rules. "I would describe my look as Audrey Hepburn meets Blondie, mixed with my mood swings," says the 27-year-old.
For fall, Gravemaker styled her own plush black headband. Below is a step-by-step how-to guide so you can make your own headpiece. Read more about Gravemaker's style in the fall 2010 issue of Venus Zine, on newsstands now.
