One of the biggest style icons of last century, and one half of an uber glamourous 'It' couple from the 60s, is Talitha Getty. A muse to Yves Saint Laurent and known for mixing couture with boho/hippy chic, Talitha married Paul Getty (heir to the Getty oil fortune) in 1966. From there on in, it was a life of glamour, high fashion and excess. The couple were known for mixing with fashion and celebrity royalty and holding ultra glamourous soirees at their Moroccan home.  Talitha died from a heroin overdose in 1971 (so there was a huge downside to all that glamour and excess) but not before influencing fashion trends for many years to come. You can still see her influence in some of todays 'It' girls such as Sienna Miller and Kate Moss and most noticeably, Nicole Richie, a perfect example of how to do 'boho couture' well.
