"The era of red carpets filled with fashion brands with duly rewarded commercial interests and celebrities who sign lucrative lifetime contracts to represent the style associated with a particular brand has distorted the concept of the fashion icon. In 2025, a fashion or style icon may be someone who always attends the front rows of the most important fashion shows, who manages to faithfully and skillfully follow the prevailing trends,"
"Keaton dared to boldly reclaim oversized men's clothing and outdated items such as vests, clunky shoes, and ugly ties. It was unusual for chic women to rummage through boxes of used clothing, also known more euphemistically as vintage (that was more the domain of rockers and bohemian underground types), and she did so with an artistry that set a trend."

Her Annie Hall look combined oversized men's garments, vintage finds, vests, clunky shoes, and ties, many items taken from her real-life closet and adapted for film by costume designer Ruth Morley.

She maintained authenticity by prioritizing personal expression over commercial endorsements and front-row visibility, influencing fashion through individuality rather than brand-driven representation.
