"Ace, Deuce, Backhand, Back Swing"!
This woman twisted and darkened the often upbeat, preppy style. She took something and ran with it, and in the process defined a new uniform of savoir-faire. Her tennis dress, vintage slip and dainty barrette are always contrasted by the melancholy of her smoky eye-liner, heavy fur coat and blunt hair cut.
The sadness of her unrequited love is captured in her iconic look. She is our Society Girl of the Week...
In my book, Tennis is by far the most stylish sport! The sport that defines preppy, that brings to mind Lacoste alligators, Adidas sweatbands and one indelible woman.

I love Margot. I actually dressed as her for Halloween a few years ago and wore a wig...it turns out I make a pretty lamentable blonde. :)
I love Margot. So stylish.
Hey! I found a picture of you at NY fashion week on the trend research website we use at work, (stylesight.com)... I was going to email it to you but I can't seem to find an email address... It was really cool recognizing you though :D Just let me know how to get it to you...
The fur coat was supposedly Fendi. :) I love every single movie from Wes Anderson. Oh and her pink gloves! :D Bonne chance with everything!
