Anita Pallenberg: rock chic incarnate
ABC: Acerbic, bewitching, charming; Anita Pallenberg is all these things and more. Her innate style, fashion-savviness and earthy sexuality brought European sophistication to Swinging London and turned it on its head.
Gawky gamins and dolly-birds melted into insignificance in the presence of the impressive 21-year-old who arrived on the scene having already studied graphic design in her native Rome, assisted Vogue photographer Gianni Penati and modelled in Paris.
Nobody’s pet, her relationships with Brian Jones and Keith Richards added to her allure, as did her appearances in such epoch-defining movies as Barbarella and Performance.
All the while her natural grace and style were accentuated by effortless merging of vintage pieces with the work of such giants as Ossie Clark and the crowd around Granny Takes A Trip. Through the 70s to this day, Anita embodies rock & roll chic - much emulated, never bettered.
The conversation below focused on the King’s Road in 1967 for a piece for Mojo magazine. Not that Anita was remotely interested in dwelling on the past; she was buzzed about a visit to Karl Lagerfeld in Paris the next day, her interest in photography, the bargains to be found in charity shops, how the High Street chains are Carnaby Street reincarnated, and her thoughts on launching a new collection based on the MA show from her studies at Saint Martins in the 90s.
A couple of months later Anita and her friend Anna Sui participated in THE LOOK’s rock & roll event at the Port Eliot LitFest; it was an honour to give her a vintage Vive le Rock t, which, of course, she wore with customary élan.
She says that one of these nights she’ll DJ at a LOOK club-night. Having seen her move in person (after all it was she who taught Mick Jagger to salsa and mambo) we can’t wait!
So, where were you in 67?
I was living all over the place, sometimes in hotels with Keith, but I was hardly in London, because I was working a lot. That was my big year as an actress. I was making Barbarella in Rome, and then my German film (Volker Schlondorff’s A Degree Of Murder, for which Pallenberg’s former partner Brian Jones contributed the score).
Where did you shop for clothes?
We’d go to places like Emmerton & Lambert in the Antiques Market, Hung On You and Granny’s. I wasn’t into Mary Quant; she was too middle of the road, and that mod, op-art thing wasn’t really for me. And Biba was too big. I wasn’t so into that very English look. In Italy we’d always had salsa, the mamba, all those Latin dances which gave me a different feel for things, so my style was fedoras, belts, little 20s jackets, lace that I’d collected. If I wore mini-skirts I’d have them made by Granny’s. We’d try on clothes and have a joint in the back. Granny’s was very small, just two rooms, so everyone knew each other.
How did you feel when the “peasant look” (the rock & roll gypsy style created by Pallenberg’s combination of antique clothing and scarves with handmade belts and boots) was revived a couple of years ago by Sienna Miller et al?
I just felt: ‘Where we you were all those year ago?!’ It all seemed a little late. I was always obsessed with clothes, but of a particular sort. I’d modelled in Paris in 63, 64 and the first time I was paid I went straight out and bought a snakeskin Marlon Brando-style motorcycle jacket in the Champs-Elysees. The second time I bought the second-hand red fox fur coat which is in Performance. I’d wear that to modelling jobs with just my underwear, boots and a bag because you couldn’t leave your clothes lying around. The other models would steal them!
You didn’t mind wearing fur?
I had a ratty fake mink coat I wore to a gig by Hendrix somewhere on Chelsea Embankment. I went with (art dealer and member of the Stones inner circle) Robert Fraser. I couldn’t tell Keith; he wouldn’t have liked it at all. As we left Robert, gentleman that he was, picked up my coat from the cloakroom. I wore it for a couple of days and thought it was a bit tight before I realised he’d picked up the wrong coat, a real mink!
What was it like going back to college (Pallenberg studied textiles at Central Saint Martins in the early 90s)?
I loved it. One of my favourite fabrics is devore (printed velvet and satin) and so I did my collection for my finals in that. It’s really hard work because the process is so intense but I loved it. There’s a Michael Cooper photograph of Marianne (Faithfull) in a devore dress, which she probably nicked from me! We used to nick from each other all the time because they were all one-off pieces.
What was (60s designer) Ossie Clark like?
He was a nasty piece of work, a troublemaker. If he came to Cheyne Walk, he’d be so unbearable we had to throw him out. And he was like that till the end. He was backstage at a Stones concert a couple of years before he died (in 1996, murdered by his psychotic lover Diego Cogolato) and he was so loud, unpleasant and arrogant we had to throw him out again!
So what didn’t you like about the scene?
I remember walking down the Kings Road one time and everybody seemed to be on acid. There were kids running around with no shoes on their feet. I’m Italian; the last thing you’d do is go barefoot. Shoes are a status symbol, the first thing you get. Everybody in Rome walks around discussing shoes. I had my boots made for me back home, so I thought it was very weird.
So you weren’t really a hippie then?
No. Definitely not. Even though I was away in America for much of the 70s, when punk came along and Vivienne (Westwood) and Malcolm (McLaren) were making those wonderful rubber clothes I felt much more in tune with them.

I've read that sentence over and over again - honestly,it still doesn't make no sense to me. AT ALL.
is she trying to say that because of latin dances she dressed like this? I mean,huh?...
that clothing has certainly got nothing to do with it,and I can't imagine you get inspired by salsa et al. to dress like that.
I would have understood it if she said that she,dunno,simply liked clothing of other cultures and decades...her interviews are always on the obscure side, but answers like this make me believe she intendedly wants to create that incomprehensible,somewhat arrogant aura for herself.
hell,I'd just like to understand what lead her to dress like this a little better!

d'uh, I was just going to post one awesome shot of anita + brian("stern" nazi spread),but wildchild beat me to it one month ago 
oh,I'd love to get to see the whole stern series in HQ.
it's weird, I just did a long research but actually couldn't (re)find one single shot! I always thought those were some of the most well-known photos out there, but noone seems to own the entire set...?

Article on how stylish people dress their children .....
Bay Garnett, stylist, with Billy, two
What is Billy wearing?
The trousers are hand-me-downs from my sister's kids. They were originally from Old Navy in New York. The yellow top is American Apparel - they do brilliant basics - and the stripey top is from a market in St Tropez. I always check out the kids' section of a market when I travel.
Are those tights underneath?
Yes. When Billy was born, Anita Pallenberg said to me that she hated babies in baby outfits, so she gave him a pair of red tights and a white hippie smock. I thought that was genius - he wore white or red tights a lot in his first year.
How similar is the way you dress him to your own style?
Even if I've got new stuff for him, I always end up putting him in the old stuff, which is weirdly the same as me. There's something about clothes that have been lived in.
What would you never dress him in?
Jeans. There's something really hard about babies in jeans, and I'm allergic to those T-shirts that say Mummy's Little Whatever or Watch Out Chicks. What is that? They're in such bad taste. Weirdly I got given one that said I Like Chocolate And Mud. But he did wear it sometimes and I felt like having a disclaimer saying It's The Only Thing That's Clean. So maybe everyone's children are wearing them because they were a present and they secretly hate them.
Would you ever spend tons of money on baby clothes?
No. I don't go into designer shops for children; it's not my bag. It's a bit weird to spend loads of money on your kids' clothes. Kids want to paint, and by definition their clothes get messed up.
Do you get sentimental about his clothes?
Definitely. There are certain pyjamas that he's slept in - like a pair with a 70s print on that my mum got him in New York - that I just don't think I could throw away. Did you dress like this as a child?
My mum used to dress us in pretty clothes. I think it's different with girls. If I had girls, I would love a pretty dress, but there's something about a boy's clothes that is quite laissez-faire.

i think its more of an abstract connection that she made between latin dancing and her dress style...those dances are passionate, ornate etc and maybe this translated into what she wore? also, many of those dances had traditional costumes which could be used to inspire extravagant garments.I've read that sentence over and over again - honestly,it still doesn't make no sense to me. AT ALL.

Anybody knows who that guy is?^^^
I saw him before on the Hyde park pictures, sitting with Marianne Faithfull & Anita Pallenberg. Good looking guy.

I've been wondering the same thing. Isn't this around the same time Kenneth Anger was making his film? Maybe one of his extras? I don't know...

Me neither! Not where she is showing her belly anyway.
