As with beauty, fashion is not all about the women. This group of men prove that fashion and style have nothing to do with gender. From the streets, to arenas to red carpets, these men, consciously or otherwise, have shaped the fashion landscape for the rest of the brotherhood to emulate and follow.

The class act in cool and refinement, he was the antithesis to Jimmy Dean's rebellious streak. The 50s couldn't have swung as it did without this man with the golden touch.

Forever a rebel in many ways, he was one of the first male celebrities that men considered sexy. His androgynous appeal and tortured aura (and of course, that hair!) spawned gang-chic that is still popular today.

Considered as the male Madonna due to his various image makeovers, he has crossed over from glam rock (remember Ziggy?) to soul to pop to electronica. Although he has mellowed somewhat, his image as an icon will forever be in style.

His name is almost synonymous with suits, elegant suits. His trademark clean and tailored lines are commonplace in red carpet events and high-powered corporate culture.

Allegedly GQ's favorite designer, he is credited with the resurgence of Filofax and the boxers. He once described his style as "Savile Row Meest Mr Bean".

Forget about the bling or the stiff upper lip, this one's for the angst-ridden, college kids everywhere. The birth of the grunge has allowed the rethinking of fashion as the playground of the moneyed masses. Fashion with no apologies.

The current poster boy of good looks and elegant style, his forays into the red carpet are never misshits. A true ladies' man that hark at Old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist, of course.

Awarded by the Council of Fashion Designers of America with the Designer of the Year twice, he is generally credited with bringing back Gucci and YSL into the groove. And not bad if the designer looks like a model.

The man who looks good with or without anything on, he forged the marriage of sports and high fashion. And thereby elevating the sportsman to higher heights of celebrity-dom.

Without going to the extreme with street/urban fashion, he makes style that is at once young and hip with an air of maturity about it - like his music and, er, take on life.
