Anita Pallenberg
A fashion icon is transcendant.
They were able to find the illusive, fashion fountain of youth. A style so fresh that decades of young women aspire to attain it. Their look is emulated and often imitated. They lend inspiration to designers, artists, and musicians. A fashion icons influence is endless. And this icon is alive in the bangles we stack, the hats we don and the scarves we tie. Anita Pallenbergs style is definitley alive.
Born January 25th, 1944 in Rome to an Italian artist and a German secretary, her european roots led to a life of style, glamour and rock n roll. Her relationships with Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards made her the bands muse and confidant. Her torrid relationship with drugs heightened the passionate and sometimes volatile life she led. Her love affair with Keith would last from 1967 to 1979 and produced three children. She was a model, actress, and now a fashion designer. And who better to invent looks than the woman who inspired so many trends. She is the ulitmate rock n roll goddess of fashion, and she always will be.
Her earthy sexuality and bewitching charm is evident in all she wore. Wearing floppy hats everywhere, mini skirts, and scarves she was the epitome of boho chic in the 70's. Patterned tights, floral mini dresses, low slung belts and knee high boots were staples of her vast wardrobe. She donned floaty tunics, gladiator sandals, long peasant skirts and ethnic jewelry. Bangs were also a staple of the Pallenberg look, which poked out of her ever present hats. Big fur coats and studded belts, hot pants and big sunglasses made her statement. She was the queen of boho-rocker-chic.
