We never seem to get tired of talking about Anita Pallenberg, Italian born actress, model and fashion designer. She dated Brian Jones and later Keith Richards and spent a lot of time influencing the Rolling Stones' androgynous looks. Not only does her stlye sense live on, but she's been a great influence on us! enjoy...
Anita has inspired several Stones classics...
'Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried,
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke,
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here,
Oh Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet,
I hate that sadness in your eyes,
But aint it time we said good bye'
-Rolling Stones
Anya Phillips was one of the first punk models and was involved in the NYC punk scene in her early twenties, while working as a dominatrix. In her short lived life, Anya was the manager and girlfriend of New York-based musician James Chance (aka James White)and was also the co-founder of legendary New York nightclub the Mudd Club. Her influence on the fashion, sound and look of the New York-based No Wavescene of the late 1970s, continues to be in fashion today. So much a part of the scene, she was a friend and designed clothing for Debbie Harry and was also involved in New York City's late 70s underground film scene, appearing in Amos Poe's The Foreigner in 1978. There's a Mudd Club story that she punched out a girl cause she didn't like the way she was dancing...a real New York kind of girl.
