Influences

Within this seminar we had a series of images in front of us, from famous actors, to inventors, business and politic and brand logos. we had to choose a image hat stood out to us. I choose a portrait of Edie Sedgwick, an American actress, model and socialite.

The first thing that draws me to this image is the whole look, the heavy make up,  but when you look deeper you can see see looks almost lost and confused like a deer caught in the headlights. She was known for her party girl ways,  what with being friends with Andy Warhol, she became girl of the year in 1965. I love how glamorous she looks but you can still see her harsh rock and roll lifestyle within her look.

This is one of favourite photographs of Madonna. I have always been inspired by her style, but more recently her 80's look. I have been told I have been told I look like her since I was 10! and while in New York in Macy's too. Its not only her style that influences me, its her whole persona the strong sexual influence with being a strong female, so rough so raw and yet so glamorous and untouchable.
