STYLE MUSE 2

Who: TALITHA GETTY

Actress, jet-set style icon, and muse to the Marrakech crowd

Style: Haute Hippie, Androgynous Glamour

When Talitha and her husband, oil heir Paul Getty Jr., bought a palace in Marrakech in the late 1960s, they transformed it into a legendary creative and social hub. The Dar el Hossoun was filled with antique textiles, Moroccan lanterns, spices, opium smoke, and the world’s most stylish and subversive guests.While not romantically linked to the Rolling Stones, her bohemian-luxe aesthetic deeply influenced their travels, album art, and wardrobes in the early '70s. Her look embodied the global, exotic vibe the Stones embraced on tour.

Tips to “try this at Home”

1. Wear Luxe Global Textiles in loose silhouettes

Try embroidered caftans in Moroccan silks, or airy cotton voile and linens. Wear Indian block prints, and brocade jackets over full trousers. Talitha mixed rich global influences with high fashion—look for artisanal, natural fabrics with texture, detail, and quality.

2. Layer Statement Accessories

Pile on jewelry like coin necklaces, oversized bangles, and ethnic earrings. Add a dramatic scarf, a velvet turban, or fringed shawl. The key is maximalist but curated—each piece should feel like it has a story. More is MORE.

3. Go for Barefoot Glamour

Channel her Marrakech mystique with barefoot looks if entertaining at home or flat embellished sandals. Wear easy silhouettes—wide-leg trousers, gauzy skirts, or off-the-shoulder blouses that move with the breeze.

4. High/ Low Mix

Pair ornate vintage pieces with basics. A gold-threaded kaftan over a white tank. A silk tunic with denim. Don’t worry about any fashion rules. Talitha’s magic was in her ease—elevated but never overthought.

5. Earth tones

Mix earthy tones like sienna, saffron, ivory, terracotta, and deep jewel tones. Let the color palette reflect heat, travel, and desert light.
