NICO

Andy Warhol was fascinated by her. This very disconcerting character impersonates all the bizarreness of Aurora Borealis. Her icy physical perfection contrasts with her warm, deep voice. Her weirdness and exotic accent gave to the Velvet Underground a touch of otheworldliness. She was extravagant (she used to spend whole nights in her bathtub, completely dressed), fabulous (she starred in films as different as “The Chelsea Girls” and “La Dolce Vita”) and independent (throughout many love affairs she stayed true to herself). The most mysterious of all the Factory Superstars is today one of our female icons.
