Inspired by Edie Sedgwick

I’ve always been interested in Edie Sedgwick’s story. I tore through her biography, Edie: An American Biography, a couple summers ago, and it’s now one of my favorite reads. Her story is very tragic and sad, but there’s also a very glamorous side to her. She was a 60s it-girl, Andy Warhol’s muse, a fashion icon, a Youth Quaker, and a Superstar.

I love looking at photos of Edie from when she was at her most beautiful — from her amazing brows and bold eye makeup to her signature tights and ballerina-esque poses. Black and white stripes and black tights always remind me of Edie, so this is my outfit inspired by her!

  1. Love your outfit! Black and white is always a nice classy combination :) . But I actually do not know a lot about Edie Sedgwick, so I go look up her life story, always ready to read some inspiring stories ;) .
