another photo recreation...
Love this Marc Jacobs ad with Elle Fanning! I just happen to have the same vintage mirror and wallpaper...
The Edie Sedgwick/Andy Warhol Experiment
Edith Minturn "Edie" Sedgwick (April 20, 1943 – November 16, 1971) was an American actress, socialite, fashion model and heiress. She is best known for being one of Andy Warhol's superstars. Sedgwick became known as "The Girl of the Year" in 1965 after starring in several of Warhol's short films in the 1960s. She was dubbed an "It Girl", while Vogue magazine also named her a "Youthquaker".*
I have always been fascinated by Edie Sedgwick, and after a friend noted a similarity in appearance between Edie and me, I decided it would be fun to recreate some of Andy Warhol's most famous portraits of Edie. I worked with the talented up-and-coming photographer Elizabeth Gowan**, and below are the original photos and our re-interpretations.
