EDIE SEDGWICK
Heiress, socialite, actress and fashion model, Edie Sedgwick was labelled 'The Girl of the Year', 'It Girl' and dubbed by Vogue as a 'Youthquaker' - a fun, spirited and youthful fashion icon who regularly graced the cover of numerous Vogue issues. Plagued with ongoing eating disorders from a young age, followed by drug addiction and difficult relationships, Sedgwick had a troubled life, that's for sure. But one thing is certain, she was an impecable style icon with a winning smile and an air of eccentricity. She epitomised the sixties style with exaggerated eye make-up, false lashes, fur, stripes and t-shirts worn as dresses. Over-sized chandalier earrings and a platinum blonde bob became her signature look and has been inspiration to Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent and recaptured by the likes of Courtney Love and Agyness Deyn.
