The part about Little Edie’s attempts to emulate 70s fashion was insightful, but the idea that she was fashion-forward behind her times is a bit of a stretch. If the Maysles brothers hadn’t discovered her or if she hadn’t been related to Jackie O she would have eventually ended up wearing cat food tins on her head and calling them fascinators.
