Christiane F. (aka Vera Christiane Felscherinow) is famous for her book Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo and the movie based on it. The book describes her drug broblems, and youth of Berlin in the late 70's. When I first read the book, it impressed me to no end. And the movie has David Bowie in it, so it's a must see. I'm sure you've all read the book and seen the movie, so enought about those.
After the book, Christiane formed a band called Sentimentale Jugend and released couple of singles with her then boyfriend Alexandre Hacke. They also appeared in two german films called Decoder und Neonstadt. Christiane then lived in the USA and in Greece, before moving back to Berlin. Atm she has one son (Jan-Niklas Philip, born 1996) with whom she lives in Amsterdam. She still strugles with her drug addiction.
Christiane is not something to be called "fashion icon", but especially her early 80's style really inspires me. She has always managed to dress nicely, being a punk and all.
(even if ya don't speak german [i don't], that video is still interesting)
