Galliano Edie Beale/ Grey Gardens Collection

http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/spring-summer-2008/ready-to-wear/john-galliano A Confluence of Themes at John Galliano Hairstylist Julien d’Ys said the multiple looks he created for John Galliano were inspired by the 1976 documentary “Grey Gardens.” Makeup artist Pat McGrath elaborated that there were numerous concepts in mind, including “Little Edie Grey Gardens,” a nod to Edith Bouvier Beale, and “Big Edie Grey Gardens,” a reference to Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale — both relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Other looks took cues from the image of a little girl on a beach in Coney Island, the Rockettes and Rossy de Palma.

Little Edie Beale

Beloved "little" Edie Beale was a beautiful woman from the famous Bouvier clan. Aged 56 she became, along with her mother, the subject of a documentary film "Grey Gardens" by the Mayseles Brothers in 1976. By now the beautiful young model had become a wonderfully eccentric woman.

We see her changing costumes she has created always with a scarf wrapped around her head secured with a broach. Her skirts are worn layered, upside down and in all manner of ways. She is a true creative and a fascinating woman.
