Sigourney Weaver. Born Susan Alexandra Weaver in 1949, who is most notable for her roles in Alien and Gorillas in the Mist (and let’s not forget those 80’s classics, Working Girl and Ghost Busters), who is not just an actress but a staunch environmentalist.

Need we say more?

February 14, 2012

Alice Prin, aka Kiki de Montparnasse, the illegitimate child born into abject poverty who became the brave and notorious lady behind the cultural liberation and sexual emancipation of Paris of the 1920’s. Her face and body were the immortalised subject of many artists works. She was once the uncredited subject of the Dadaist short film entitled ‘Ballet Mécanique’ by Fernand Léger, and the muse of Man Ray.

Characterised by her pointy-painted upper lip, angular bob-cut black hair, and curvy body - but mostly it was her bravery to liberate herself in ways women had previously been restricted.

Anna Karina, the Danish-turned-French muse and one time wife of the pioneer of the french new wave - Jean Luc Godard. 
Her style was characterised by its simplicity. From the muted colours and simple cuts of her clothes, to the heavy fringe and cat eye make-up.
