There's a New IT Girl in Town and She Goes by the Double-Barrelled Name...

"It isn't beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's just 'It'
- Rudyard Kipling

What truly makes an IT Girl? Sex appeal? style? The size of your inheritance? Take a look at the girls (and guys) everyone wants to be...

Move over Rhianna and make way Paris, there's a new IT Girl in town and she comes with the postcode SW1. With faces that the likes of Jack Wills drool over, these glossy-maned, polo-going girls are today's real IT Girl royalty. Frequently seen on the pages of Tatler dating their double-barrelled named counterparts, these girls are being snapped up by fashion designer across the world as their influence on young women grows.






The original IT Girls:

Clara Bow - The original IT Girl, Clara was an American actress born and raised in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, who rose to stardom in the silent film era of the 1920s.
