Factory Girl is one of my favourite movies of all time- I
absolutely love the mod look and I am so happy it’s popping up throughout the
Spring 2013 trends. There is a dramatic feel to the 60s era and it’s fun to
play it up. Here, I compare 5 of today's trends with Andy Warhol’s factory,
as well as his infamous muse, Edie Sedgewick.
1.
Make-up
Edie Sedgewick was all about the exaggerated eyebrows and
eyes, as well as ultra-nude lips.
Model, Cara Delevigne, has bold eyebrows and eyes
that really stand out against her pale, flawless face at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 runway show.
Another way to play on the trend is to create exaggerated eyes
and bottom eyelashes in an electric hue- just like the model on the right at Moncler Gamme Rouge Spring
2013 runway.
2. Stripes
Here, Edie is wearing a black and white striped shirt and
if there is anything you should buy for this Spring, it is a striped item in
contrasting colours.
This is a similar top to Edie's and it's Marc by Marc Jacobs.
The MSGM striped and voluminous pants are great if you’re more of a risk-taker.
If you’re on the safe side, the Alice + Olivia Lucite box clutch is perfect for a night
out.
3. Silver Chrome
The silver chrome colour is everywhere this upcoming Spring.
It reminds me of Andy Warhol’s factory and the silver balloons in the movie,
Factory Girl.
The Ela editor’s pouch is an affordable way to hop on this trend.
Just recently, blogger Danielle Berstein of We Wore What posted a picture of
her chrome nails. I cannot wait to try this on my nails!
4.
Geometric shapes
Edie is pictured wearing geometric shapes- the ultimate mod
look.
Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2013 runway looks were all about geometric play in
different colours.
For a more understated look, the Manolo Blahnik black and
white checkered heel is a great option.
5.
Statement earrings
A fun way to accessorize with the mod trend is to purchase
statement earrings. They especially stand out against the 60s bob and Edie’s
short, androgynous hair cut.
The white Dannijo are sure to make a statement, as
well as the gold Eddie Borgo Edie earrings below.
