Oh, Loulou!
 |
Loulou de la Falaise is known for being a good friend, collaborator, and muse to the late Yves Saint Laurent. It is also said that she helped inspire YSL’s famous Le Smoking female-tuxedo. None of this would I have known if not for my mother’s slight obsession with HSN and other home shopping networks.
After Yves’ retirement, Ms. de la Falaise began designing accessories under her own name also has a diffusion line that can be purchased on, none other than, HSN.
I will admit, I’m not a fashion savant who knows all influential fashion figures and moments, but I do know when I find something intriguing. So, when passed my parents illuminated television and, on it, saw a pair of art deco-esque gemstone earrings, I was inspired to hop on the net and learn more about this designer, Loulou de la Falaise.
If you want to know the long and short of her life, there’s a little known website called Wikipedia.
I’d rather talk about how you can not only buy the intriguing ‘Multistone Drop Earrings’ but a matching bracelet and necklace— not to be worn all together, thank you— for less than $200. That’s less than 6% of the average cost of a used Le Smoking jacket.
