Brian Jones was a founding member of The Rolling Stones and was one of the most influential style icons of the 1960s. Brian was one of the first figures in popular culture to make is acceptable for men to wear jewelry and flamboyant costumes, a suit later followed by contemporaries such as Jimi Hendrix and Rod Stewart. A multi-talented musician, Brian would easily become bored with an instrument and quickly move onto the next, and his chaotic and beautiful spirit was evident in the kind of clothes he wore and the way he presented himself. Brian was a very self-destructive individual and on July 3rd 1969 he drowned in his pool becoming the first member of the 27 Club. His presence and style still leave a big impact on both today's music and fashion.

Marianne Faithfull was an icon of the 1960s, she was a successful singer, actress and model and also love and muse of Mick Jagger. Her name has often been synonymous sex and drugs, an addiction which overshadowed much of her exceptional career. Marianne has a style all her own which can range from the wholesome to the eccentric and hitting every other style in between. She is the inspiration of several songs, most notably The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and The Hollies' "Carrie Anne."

For my first post, I thought it would only be appropriate to feature the woman who first gave me a real interest in fashion, Pattie Boyd.
Wife and muse to both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, she has inspired some of the greatest songs ever written such as "Layla", "Wonderful Tonight" and "Something."
Pattie was a very popular and influential model during the 1960s and style icon Twiggy has even said that she modeled her look after Pattie's. Pattie has been featured on several covers of UK and Italian Vogue magazines and is now an accomplished photographer.
