NEW YORK, Oct 17, 2011/ — Considered one of the Style icons of the 20th century, Edie Sedgwick was the ultimate muse of the 1960s.

Today, her style is still inspiring designers and fashionistas looking to be unique and daring yet classic and enduring. Charmaine Ho, Creative Director of Me Char, has designed her Spring/Summer 2012 collection with the iconic Edie in mind.

Using fuchsia, Mint, Rose, Coral, Yellow and Royal Blue for a color pallet as well as a leopard print that will make you purr, the collection translated Sedgwick’s bold fashion choices into today’s setting.
