Tu es la vague, moi l’île nue
L’amour physique est sans issue”
Je t’aime… moi non plus

AUDREY HEPBURN

Audrey Hepburn was stylish in every decade, but with the release of  Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961 and My Fair Lady in 1964, the 1960s were when she became a real star. Off-camera, she made drainpipe jeans a style staple, and rocked a bold pixie haircut.

FRANCOISE HARDY

ANITA PALLENBERG

Romancing nearly all of The Rolling Stones, Italian-born, hard-partying beauty Anita had the quintessential rock chick look – think kohl-rimmed eyes, thigh-high boots, and skin-tight, printed trousers. Kate Moss has marked her as a style inspiration.

Anita Pallenberg (born 6 April 1944, Rome, Italy) is an Italian-born actress, model, and fashion designer. She was the romantic partner of Rolling Stones multi-instrumentalist and guitarist Brian Jones and later the partner of Keith Richards, the guitarist of the same band, from 1967 to 1979, by whom she has two surviving children.
