KELLY'S POST: Iconic Style-Edie Sedgwick

Black tights are going to be huge for fall, so when I went to write my first "iconic style" post the first person I thought of was Edie Sedgwick.  She virtually invented black tights (well maybe not, but all the same she made them very cool).  Back in the 60's, Edie was what one might call an "it girl."  She was: Andy Warhol's muse and was in many of his films, a socialite, an heiress, and had an amazing sense of style.  Known for her black tights, mini dresses and chandelier earrings, Edie Sedgwick is definatly going to be one of my inspirations for this coming fall.

  2. Love Edie Sedgwick - her hair is such an inspiration, I wish I could look that good with a crop! Isn't the third picture Twiggy, though? Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  3. i absolutely love the opaque black tight look... i found some fantastic ones in chicago - they're extra thick & soft & fuzzy on the inside - perfect for the northern ohio winters. i accidentally threw the package away though, or i would give you the brand name!

    you guys are students at kent?
