Style Icons: Male »John Hughes

Everyone my age was deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of the man who gave a mainstream voice to contemporary teenage angst, woe and hilarity. John Hughes left behind so many iconic characters and scenes that will forever be ingrained in our collective memory that it's easy to forget his later creative drought.

Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink?my god, the man was a genius. Our hearts go out to his family; I know we're all deeply grateful for his amazing legacy.
