Born in a family of writers, models, and painters, Loulou de la Falaise was destined to become an artistic marvel. From a young age, her mother, Maxime de la Falaise, a noted fashionista, gave Loulou open access to the world of high fashion. Her career took off when she moved to Paris and befriended fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.

“I met Yves through mutual friends. We had lots of fun together, and he must have liked what I did with clothes because one day he asked me to work with him," said Loulou.

Loulou de la Falaise and Yves Saint Laurent's friendship grew into a creative partnership which lasted over three decades until his death. Now, Loulou's presence in the fashion industry is still strong with stores in Paris and a jewelry line with the HSN. Throughout the years, Loulou's eclectic and unique style has remained unmatched. From her signature head wraps to her funky shoes, there's no denying this lady's got style.

Biggest Headline of 2008: Rest In Peace, Yves Saint Laurent

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:00:22 -0800

It was a sad Sunday. I remember waking to the news of fashion great Yves Saint Laurent passing June 1; throughout the week the fashion world mourned. We put together a tribute slideshow, but that will never do the couturier justice. Looking back on Fab, before June 1, we featured Yves Saint Laurent on a regular basis. Most being new school YSL, under the direction of creative director Stefano Pilati, all being rooted in the man who popularized menswear for women, beatnik, and safari style. Even before then, Yves was thrown into the fire at Christian Dior, upon Dior's death, and kept the house afloat at the ripe age of 21. This man was arguably the first couturier to delve into ready-to-wear. His Rive Gauche stores sold his RTW creations, and he became an international sensation with actress Catherine Deneuve and icon Loulou de la Falaise favoring his clothes. Like many risk-takers, Yves's collections were often pooh-poohed by the press - but ended up setting the trends. Yves retired in 2002. Many of today's designers cite YSL as being an influence, and the designer left behind countless friends and fans. Here are some of our favorite stories about the late designer and the house:

Chic Cruise '10

FabSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 13:00:22 -0700

I can only dream of the islands I would visit wearing ravishing resort pieces from Yves Saint Laurent, Armani, Moschino Cheap & Chic, and Missoni. While my Costa Rica trip won't be quite as fancy, I can aspire to look just as nice. Each collection showed a different take on holiday dressing. Armani took the bold route with city chic cuts; Missoni played with plenty of subdued prints and layers; Moschino Cheap & Chic kept it soft and feminine; and Yves Saint Laurent - my favorite - wowed with an ode to YSL muse Loulou de la Falaise. I love how this animal print top evokes sensual, sexy vibes. Want to see my favorite Cruise '10 looks to date? You know what to do . . .
