Inspired by… Factory Girl
The next film on the list of 10 More Movies for Fashion Inspiration is the 2006 movie Factory Girl. This film is based on the life of Edie Sedgwick, a socialite and one of Andy Warhol’s muses in the 1960s. In the film, Edie (played by Sienna Miller) enjoys her new lifestyle as a fixture at Warhol’s factory, but soon finds that her life isn’t as glamorous as she once thought.
Edie Sedgwick was (and still is!) a style icon, and the fashion in Factory Girl represents her unique taste in clothing. A trailblazer in the 60s Mod scene, Edie was a fan of clean lines and geometric prints. In addition, she was almost always sporting black opaque tights. She was not afraid to be bold and make a statement with accessories. Her love of oversized earrings, big sunglasses and tall boots defined 1960s mod style.
If you want to add some mod to your wardrobe, check out these four outfits inspired by Factory Girl:
Outfit #1: Mod Squad
Product Information: Bodysuit- Miss Selfridge, Sunglasses- ASOS, Necklace- Urban Outfitters, Earrings- ASOS, Pants- Piperlime, Shoes- ASOS
The Factory Girl wardrobe features lots of bold stripes and this bodysuit captures the film’s look perfectly. Black pants streamline the legs and make them look super long, while these caged wedges add a modern touch. This fringe necklace and matching shoulder-dusting earrings make a statement, while the sunglasses are both demure and timeless.
Outfit #2: Fancy Frills
Product Information: Dress- H&M, Earrings- Urban Outfitters, Tights- Oasis, Ring- ModCloth, Pumps- Nordstrom, Clutch-Endless
This is a mod-inspired outfit for a more formal event. The tiered dress is a pretty blush color, which makes it stand out against the black opaque tights and classic black pumps. Accessorize with a bold ring, delicate chandelier earrings and a gold clutch to be ready for wherever your night may take you.
Outfit #3: Casual Chic
Product Information: Tunic- Urban Outfitters, Sunglasses- Miss Selfridge, Necklace- ASOS, Earrings- Forever 21, Boots- Wet Seal, Tights- Dorothy Perkins
This tunic again picks up on Edie’s love of stripes, but this time in a more subtle way. Sheer tights and tall boots make this outfit casual, cool and totally mod. The elegant earrings contrast well with the asymmetrical necklace, and the oversized sunglasses are definitely 60s chic.
Outfit #4: It Girl
Product Information: Top- net-a-porter.com, Jeans- American Eagle Outfitters, Earrings- Forever 21, Sandals- heels.com, Ring- ASOS
There’s no better way to stand out from the crowd than with some sparkle, and this sequined top is no exception. The bold earrings and oversized cocktail ring look like they came straight out of Edie’s jewelry box. Simple jeans tone down the look, while these structured sandals are perfect for a fun night out.

This is WAY cute and Sienna Miller looks gorgeous in this movie. :)
I like outfit one, but two is especially my favorite! Why? Bcause I have a top, shoes, and tights like that, know where to find a ring like that in gold and silver for half the price, and know where to find a similar color clutch like that for a third the price. All I need if some similar earrings and you can bet your mother I’ll be wearing that outfit sometime soon. ;) ~Thank you SO much for the idea!
Maria

I really love her style because it feels so spontaneous but not in a crazy way. She wears what she wants and still looks polished which I think is admirable in the fashion world.
