I have recently become madly obsessed with EDIE SEDGWICK. I know she has been a fashion icon for a while now, but i’ve only just discovered her. My obsession started with the film FACTORY GIRL, which you can actually watch on you tube, where SIENNA MILLER did a brill performance (Oscar worthy in my opinion) of Edie’s traumatised yet fashionable underground life.
Then I watched POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL, the film by Andy Warhol that made her his superstar which you can also see on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6dklG_44o8 i highly recommend you watch it. It starts off fuzzy and slow, but when you get to about the 4/5th clip it clears up and becomes more interesting.
Then, I watched also on you tube (man, I love you tube ) . Ciao, Manhattan which shows Edie after her time in NY and just before her death, really moving! GO WATCH THEM and become obsessed with her like me ;)
