Story: Chrissie is a former 1960's model and actress. She is most known as the wild younger sister of supermodel Jean Shrimpton and as a former girlfriend of Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger. Chrissie is immortalised in many Stones songs, such as "19th Nervous Breakdown" about the couples first acid trip together which Chrissie did not handle well triggering a fit of paranoia. Also the song "Under My Thumb" is about Chrissie. Chrissie and Mick dated during 1963-1966 when Jagger left her for Marianne Faithfull. After break up Chrissie took an overdose of sleeping pills but was saved by medics. After wards Chrissie has stated she was dumped beacause she was so uncool. Later Jagger is said to have filed an injunction against her to prevent publishing his private love notes to her. In 2012 she was briefly featured in BBC Four film "We'll take Manhattan", a biopic of her sister Jean, with Clemmie Dugdale potraying Chrissie.
Style: Chrissie was the care free mod girl who faught her spot under the spotlight of her supermodel sister. Her style was not so on-trend and her pretty and even cataloque-like style had strong 50's feel to it, but her wild personality gave fascinating twist to her outlook. Later she updated her mod look to hippie but she is best remembered as a pretty wild mod girl.
