Why this site? Why now?
About a year or so ago I started hearing about an Edie Sedgwick biopic being in the works and was of course interested. As time progressed and more was being made known about the movie (casting, costuming, etc.) I was disappointed and by the time I finally saw the film, the quality of which is highly debatable (I won't go into detail on my own opinion here... that's for another thread ^^), it was disheartening because of the inaccuracy among other things and I among several others felt the film was misrepresenting Edie and Co. for the masses (many of whom may take interest in this site purely because of the movie - not that there's anything wrong with that, but I just think the facts should be put forward too).
These feelings in addition my increasingly high Edie adoration convinced me to start work on a fashion-oriented site (the only reason for it being focused on fashion, other than the obvious love for the girl's style, is because at least right now I'm slightly daunted by the idea of a full-blown fansite) to hopefully provide an accurate source on the real Edie.
What is going to be on the site?
There is a lot planned. The site will be divided in sections on Edie herself (featuring a profile and trivia), her style (featuring an archive of her outfits, style guides [which we explain more in-depth in Style], makeup/hair guides [same]), a press archive for scans of features and clippings on Edie and other fun stuff (fan art, an as-yet-untitled special section, polls, interaction).
How can I help?
A list has been made detailing how you can do just that
Any further questions feel free to post here
