Style Star: Edie Sedgwick {Get The Look}

When Marc Jacobs sent models down his Spring/Summer 2013 runway wearing graphic, stripe T-shirts and black briefs it was clear where his inspiration came from. That look says one thing, and one thing only: Edie Sedgwick. The original It girl may have made her name as Andy Warhol’s muse in the 1960′s, but 50 years later she’s still inspiring taste-makers. Dolce & Gabbana’s monochrome stripes were reminiscent of the socialite’s look, and the high street is bursting with Edie Sedgwick style designs right now. Want to buy into the look? Here are eight clever purchases…
