EDIE SEDGWICK

“In January ’65 I met Edith Minturn Sedgwick. She’d just come to New York that summer. She’d been in a car accident and her right arm was in a cast”. Young Edie decided to leave university for the Factory the minute she met Andy Warhol. That’s how she became part of a unique environment that inspired her to develop a unique style: tights, an old t-shirt, boyish short hair, big earrings and her signature trademark – a white mink coat. That outrageous look made her famous to our days; we still love Edie because she was different to everyone else, because she deliberately ignored the fashion codes of her time to stay faithful to herself. A true anti-fashion icon.
