Although the band detest her, everyone else sided with Bianca Jagger over Jerry Hall. People were outraged that hillbilly was chosen over sophisticated, stylish, intelligent Bianca. After having the audacity to be a shameless mistress, prancing around the streets of New York City. Hence Bianca Jagger is the one referenced culturally, i.e Capote Vs. The Swans. Never forget she’s his only wife, while Jerry Hall was duped into a fake marriage. A relationship he was all too happy to leave after 22 years, no wonder Luciana Gimenez is his favorite. Do note her millions of followers, because beauty is power (Melanie Hamrick is ugly, nothing is going to make her interesting or her influential like the rest of us).
Feel bad for that hoe? Luciana Gimenez is Jerry Hall’s karma multiplied, down to having his favorite child. Where’s the lie? Via: 70sRomantics, Nick Chique, Marie Claire Italia, Getty Images & Pop Art Trio

“I can’t think of any woman more feminine than Lee Radziwill, not even Audrey Hepburn.” Truman Capote said of the socialite. The brilliant, chic baby sister of Jackie-O; despite their competitive relationship Lee styled her sister on numerous occasions.

The pisces Princess, who got her last name after marrying Polish Prince Stanislaw Albrecht Radziwill, had a style that was minimal, yet embellished. A plain white gown covered by an ornamental jacket, a red dress made sophisticated by the placement of straps across her chest, closed with a decorative brooch. She was balanced glamour, refined, chic and always memorable.

Even black leather jackets were stand outs one: a fur color and a cinched waist, the other given depth with a snakeskin texture. They just don’t make them like they use to. Her outfits are put together so consciously it radiates her intelligence. What does your style say about you?

The coolest of the Swinging Sixties It girls by far. “Hot, hot, hot. Smart, smart, smart.” This is how John Lennon described the effortlessly cool, aloof Penelope Tree. Once the girlfriend of photographer David Bailey, she got her start after being photographed at one of Truman Capote’s infamous soirées. Absolutely striking, with large, round, doe eyes and chiseled rosy cheeks, there is no face like hers. When I first saw her I was enthralled by how odd looking she was, like a tribal, sage alien from a jungle on some far away planet. A fucking icon. Which Tree is your favorite?
