Edie Sedgwick... American Icon

Factory Girl Stats
Kate Biscoe served as make-up department head (other movies include, Memoirs of a Geisha and The Producers, while Miia Kovera acted as hair department head. Despite the obvious glitches in the actual story, Factory Girl succeeds in being a testiment to the beauty and style of the 1960's.
Edie was a natural beauty with pale skin and almond brown eyes. With a short, boy cut and bleached hair, Edie transformed herself into the icon of beauty for the rock and roll generation. Her eyes boasted bold and thick lashes lined with heavy black liner, her eyebrows were dark and full. More feminine then the heroin chic look of the late 80's and early 90's, Edie combined rocker with classic. Edie was an inspiration to the style of the 1960's and her iconic status continues to inspire women today... Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, to name a few.

Sienna Miller as Edie Sedgwick from Factory Girl
Just saw FACTORY GIRL today... I'll discuss Sienna and her look after I digest the movie a little more but I found this amazing video on youtube about Edie Sedgwick. It's awesome. A must see. Please, take the time to view the first celebutante's inspiring style and hypnotic beauty.

Sedgwick spent hours each day on her makeup. "She would drive us insane sitting there with her makeup case, just endlessly, endlessly doing her makeup while everybody was starving and late for the party and wanting to go and becoming so irate," said Bibbe Hansen, another Warhol protégé (and, for the record, Beck's mom). "Yeah, it took a couple of hours, but when she was done, she looked fabulous."Source.
The real Edie Sedgwick
Please comment, do you think that Sienna and Edie look similar???

A little something SPECIAL

Always fabulous, Always Audrey...

This is by far, my absolute favorite new commercial (and I usually TiVo through all the advertisements!).
One word to the Gap creative team... genius!
Audrey Hepburn is the epitome of timeless beauty. Fit, fresh and classic.
Watch, listen and learn from the queen beauty whore herself (yes, somehow she has managed to resurrect herself from the grave…)!

I'm sure that everyone's already seen this about a million times, but watch it once more and try and figure out what still makes Audrey Hepburn a beauty and style icon today.
