If there was one person in the world I could be id have little hesitation in whom I would choose. Enter Factory Girl Edie Sedgwick. Ubiquitously dubbed as " The girl with the black tights" Edie revolutionised understated fashion glamour with a modern edge. The dress sense was simple opaque tights , chandelier earrings and heavy kohl eyeliner became the signature pieces in Edies wardrobe. Her life was hallmarked with endless parties, countless lovers and a perpensity for self destruction. As Patti Smith once remarked " She was such a strong image that I thought, 'Thats it'. It represented everything to me, radiating intelligence, speed, being connected with the moment" Her life may have ended tragically but her spirit and influence forever lives on.
