In front of the reporter, the former Pop goddess, It girl, Edie Sedgwick, when talking about the extravagant and decadent life in the past, has not had too much pain, but just an indifferent expression. In 1968, Edie Sedgwick was only a 27-year-old woman, but her words were already beyond her actual age. A year later, Edie Sedgwick died of a drug overdose at the age of 28.
The age of 28 should be the climax of a woman's life, whether it is career, family or love. But for Edie Sedgwick, the climax of her life came too early and was very short-lived.
After a moment of brilliance, it was a miserable ending. Edie Sedgwick, the It girl who once led the pop fashion trend in the 1960s, has sadly become a cultural symbol in the art and fashion world.
In 1927, British novelist and playwright Elinor Glyn used the term "It Girl" once to describe Clara Bow, the heroine of the Hollywood film "It". Because of Clara Bow's sexy, seductive charm and personality, "It Girl" has evolved into a celebrity star used to describe sexiness, taste and character.
If you only interpret "It Girl" as synonymous with stars such as Britney, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie, you may be wrong.
Edie Sedgwick, the "It Girl" of the 1960s. If it weren't for the 2006 movie "Factory Girl", many people would have forgotten her in the old paper. Edie is the legendary 1960s rebel rich family daughter, Andy Warhol (Andy Warhol) famous "factory girl", "Vogue" called her "Youthquakers" (Youthquakers), the 28-year-old The trendy idol of Xiangxiaoyuyun (drug overdose) in the 1960s is still worshipped as a god by first-line brands such as Dior to this day.
Edie Sedgwick wears a leopard-print coat, a hip-length mini skirt and net socks, huge agate earrings, and thick black heavy metal eyeliner. She is the famous American queen of underground movies in the 1960s. Being born into a rich family did not bring Edie a good childhood. It may be hard to imagine the past of such a shining Super Star. At the age of 8, he began to learn how to kick his father out of bed. His brother, who was ridiculed by his father for being gay, was sent to a mental hospital and ended his shameful life by suicide. Another brother died in a car accident.
Meeting Andy Warhol, a master of avant-garde art at a cocktail party, completely changed Edie's life. The two had an ambiguous relationship. His interpretation of Eide made her a fashion icon.
But the story didn't stop there, rocker Bob Dylan broke into Edie's field of vision, and the two fell in love. So the cooperation between Edie and Andy also ended quietly with the passing of "friendship". In the end, Edie and Bob Dylan broke up.
Today, we can only see the shadow of Edie Sedgwick in fashion magazines and catwalks, and those dresses belong to the 60s, which occasionally remind people of her.
Edie and Andy's dialogue revisited at the end of the Sienna Miller biopic Factory Girl: "I don't know if people will remember us when we're dead? Well...I think people will talk about how you changed the world Don't know what they'll say about you in your obituary. They'll say Edith Minturn Sedgwick? A beautiful artist and actor? Doing nothing?"
Made the world go crazy, freed yourself from the shackles of family, made friends, wherever you went There was a commotion everywhere, and it was just part of the show. She's been divorced many times with only good wishes behind her. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Who is Edie? Edie is a combination of all the tragic heroines, she is sensitive, vulnerable and neurotic, but this does not prevent her from being a keen artist. Edie's life is described as "legendary", a term that makes people feel distant, and her life is a condensed image of post-war American youth.
However, "Factory Girl" was sued by Bob Dylan, saying that the film insinuated her death because of Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan is certainly not her only boyfriend, people say that both Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger have fallen to her knees, and the legendary band "Velvet Underground" is also close to her (in the film, Andy stands in the audience watching the Velvet Underground) Nico and Edie, with shining eyes like any scumbag). What about Andy Warhol? Since she is called "Factory Girl", there is no need to say more. The film is based on the triangular relationship between her, Andy Warhol, and Bob Dylan. In fact, Bob Dylan is completely wrong. The best victim of this film should be Andy Warhol, because in the film, he has completely become a villain who is not worth spit.
