The Nominees…Jackie O, Penelope Tree, Edie SedgwickFrom the rise of the hemlines to the beatnik look, 2006 was a year marked by a nostalgia for the 60s. As usual, designers and retailers dug out 60s icons to help put a face to this trend and dollars in their pocketbooks. This is a category, I suppose, where the winner is the lesser of all the evils, no?
First up is Jackie O, whose oversized sunglasses and signature boxy jackets were unavoidable on Nicole Richie and at Balenciaga, respectively. Next is Penelope Tree, who starred in this year’s Burberry ada with comeback queen Kate Moss and has the bangs of the year. Irina, who? Finally, we have the much touted Warhol muse, Edie Sedgwick, immortalized by the infamous Sienna Miller in this year’s Factory Girl. From her striped tops to her dark-rimmed eyes, 2006 said Ciao! Edie, even if the rest of us wanted to say Ciao(the “goodbye” version)!Sienna.
