The poster girl of Swinging Sixties style, Marianne Faithfull, died aged 78 on January 30. After a life of dizzying highs and crashing lows, the It girl best known for her relationship with Mick Jagger, pop stardom and troubled years tarnished with heroin and homelessness, Faithfull leaves behind a wealth of style inspiration as the very British muse with rock ‘n’ roll edge.
“She was so unique, so beautiful and such a creature of the time,” says Bay Garnett, the stylist and Vogue contributor who knew the face of the 1960s in her later life.
