A few years ago I read the book, Edie Sedgwick called Edie: An American Girl. I hadn't read anything like it. I wanted to identify but couldnt, instead i was mystified by her instant fame in the art and fashion world...sadly, the only lasting impression for me, was her style and that alone is an unfortunate way to be remembered.
It hadn't occured to me until recently how our modern day Edie Sedgwick is the likes of Kate Moss, Paris, Lindsay, Mary Kate, ...Don't get me wrong, I have grown to appreciate what they've carved out for themselves but by no means regard them as my style icon.
That said, I am exhausted by celebrity endorsements and the endless supply of contemporary clothing lines occupying the market place. Fashion K-Holes aside, I admit to loving Edie's style...and in the end, Edie wore it better.
