"Model off-duty: a term coined by the king of downtown cool, Alexander Wang, to describe the effortlessly chic way of dressing that our favorite runway stars seem to have down to a science. Running between shoots and shows in their perfectly worn-in leather jackets and easy slouchy tees, they are as stylish on set as off. And while studying street-style snaps of our favorite M.O.D.s has until now been the principal method of emulating their fashion tricks, H&amp;amp;M has just upped the ante.\n\n The New Icons collection, which hits stores in mid-April, is inspired by the day-to-day wardrobes of four top faces: Lindsey Wixson, Liu Wen, Joan Smalls, and Daphne Groeneveld. And lest you assume that the pieces aren&amp;#39;t quite as authentic as their real-life looks, Wen is happy to clarify. &amp;quot;The collection really fits into my personal style and is something I will definitely wear on a daily basis,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;These days I feel that every girl needs a great leather jacket to give herself a &amp;#39;cool&amp;#39; factor, and the H&amp;amp;M one is amazing.&amp;quot;\n\n While Wen opts for the more practical essentials, Wixson&amp;#39;s favorite piece from the collection is a long faux-suede fringed necklace. &amp;quot;My look reflects how I&amp;#39;m feeling, where I am in the world, and where I&amp;#39;ll be going next,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I wear everything from jeans to a ball gown.&amp;quot; So the mix of breezy basics, like a plain white tank, with more elaborate pieces, such as a flowy, full-length black skirt, accurately mirrors the model mix of high and low.\n\n Now that you&amp;#39;ve got the clothes covered, how do you put them together like the pros? &amp;quot;During fashion week, I always try to dress appropriately for the show I&amp;#39;m attending,&amp;quot; says Wen. &amp;quot;I do put in a little extra effort.&amp;quot; Adds Wixson: &amp;quot;I try to be especially creative with the colors and textures I wear.&amp;quot; But in the end, it really comes down to wearing what feels right. &amp;quot;Dress in what makes you comfortable,&amp;quot; Wen advises. It is off-duty style, after all!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
