Do Men Have Icons?

David Beckham, the main icon for men

There’s a story when I went to barbershop. The barber asked to the customer what kind of hair that he’d like to have. He said that he wanted a style like David Beckham. Then I couldn’t help but wonder do men only have one icon, only for their hair?
It’s different from women. They have Kate Moss, Princess Diana, or Anna Wintour. Black women have Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama who always dress perfectly from head to toe. Even fashion freaks have Isabella Blow and Daphne Guiness. They have someone to look up to when they dress.
On the other side, men are more experimental. People that they (fashion lovers) look up to constantly change, and they always look for items that are trends. I personally never look up to someone. One time I really wanna look like Johnny Depp (yeah, freak), the next day I wanna look like Nolan Funk (which is, you know, cool). One of my friends is also influenced by different things especially Asian style. He tries different combinations of hair, tees, and pants. He experiments. So I got into this conclusion that men generally only have an icon for their hair.
Maybe someday when men’s fashion is equal to women’s, we will hear something like, “Hey Johnny Depp is my fashion icon and I wanna look like him!” from men.
