Winter coats and Edie Sedgwick

I have been checking out coats for the winter. It is so cold here in Iceland, so obviously we need coats to keep us warm. Nobody likes being frozen, but at least we can try and keep ourselves warm with style.
I have been very interested in the 60's style. Old is new. I love the shape of the coats that were so popular in the 60's, the so called "bell" shaped coats. They are shaped like a bell or you could say it is shaped after the letter "A".
What kind of a coat are you longing for in the winter?





The most known models from that time are including, the famous muse of the very well known pop artist Andy Warhol, Edith Sedgwick. Edie was an artist, she even did her own make up. She was Andy's muse, the queen of his Factory, his films. I think most of us have seen the movie about her, Factory Girl, starring Sienna Miller.

Edie's last film was Chiao Manhattan, wich is about her life. She is talking about her drug trips and her life. I recommend watching it.



As you can see in this picture, Edie liked to wear gigantic earrings. She was also known for the size of her earrings. And of course her make up and hairstyle.
