Style.com's It Girl editorial is focused entirely on model Cara Delevigne. The fashion hub has gone so far as to eliminate the need of a stylist here, instead providing Delevigne with the free reign to put together her own ensembles, all of which were pulled from her personal wardrobe.

It Girl's exclusive focus on Delevigne should come as little if any surprise. Designers, writers and fans have developed a [cult-like obsession](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nara-smith-2) with the young beauty who has enthralled an assortment of industry members.

Photographer Matt Irwin contributed to this cult-like following in this production for Style.com. [Candid snapshots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) of Delevigne next to her friends and contemporaries added a light tone to the scene, even in the presence of [luxe apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit).
