edie sedgwick was a born Edith sedgwick into a wealthy family, but also one of great chaos. when she moved to New York, she was introduced to the ever so popular Andy warhol, a rising popartist of the 1960s, creating beauty from everyday objects. edie is known for her iconic style. she was a dancer. she would go to her jazz Ballet classes with black leotards and when she went out on the street, to and from class she would simply throw a coat on over her. vogue photographers captured pictures of edie dressed this way and used her to create a trend. she would spend hours applying makeup. however, it wasn't just your average revlon nor covergirl, but watercolors for more vibrant colors with deeper pigments. her hair she dyed blonde and silver and cut short, compared to her natural brunette. she would wear oversized earrings with mod dresses as well. it's been said that her and bob Dylan had an affair, but there isn't any hard evidence leading to this. on the other hand, some of Dylan's songs are said to be written about edie. for example, the song "like a rolling stone". edie was also a drug abuser, experimenting with pills along with countless other things, often combining them with alcohol. infact, that is how she died. a drug overdose. edie was a woman of fresh and exciting ideas who took on the world by storm and left behind the title "girl on fire".
