YSL MUSE: Lou Lou De La Falaise

Lou Lou De La Falaise was an important member of the Yves Saint Laurent Design Family. She was the original symbol of Haute Bohemian Chic....mixing global elements with joyful abandon and a sure eye.
She contributed more than just designing all the exotic, extravagant & fantastical jewelry that complimented his designs, she was his free spirited, eccentrically accessorized  muse. A French Style ambassador of colorful, playful, romantic femininity, Lou Lou never left his side, guiding his vision when it strongly reflected her spirit.Not surprisingly, her home resembled her romantic, whimsical, bohemian style: the work of an Artist.
