Loulou & Yves: The Untold Story of Loulou de La Falaise and the House of Saint Laurent http://archive.is/b3qyy

From Wikipedia on Loulou de La Falaise: ...fashion muse and designer of fashion, accessories and jewellery associated with Yves Saint Laurent.[2][3] Author Judith Thurman, writing in The New Yorker magazine, called La Falaise "the quintessential Rive Gauche haute bohémienne".[4] The daughter of an Anglo-Irish fashion model and a French marquis...

Family

La Falaise's maternal grandfather was portrait painter Sir Oswald Birley, and an uncle was Mark Birley (1930–2007), restaurateur and founder of the London nightclub, "Annabel's". Another uncle, her father's elder brother, was Henri de La Falaise, Marquis de La Coudraye, (1898–1972), film director and third husband of American actress Gloria Swanson (1899–1983). Her paternal grandfather was a three-time French Olympic gold medallist in fencing, Louis Gabriel de La Falaise (1866–1910).[16]

Loulou de La Falaise had one sibling, Alexis Richard Dion Oswald Le Bailly de La Falaise,(1948-2004), a furniture designer, who appeared in the Andy Warhol film Tub Girls.[10][13] After the death of her uncle in 1972, her father became the Marquis de La Coudraye, as he died without issue. After her father's death in 1977, her brother assumed the title, Marquis de La Coudraye (until his death in 2004).

Her niece, Lucie Le Bailly de La Falaise (born 19 February 1973), a model, is the wife of Marlon Richards, son of Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg. Her nephew, Daniel Le Bailly de La Falaise (born 6 September 1970), is a professional chef and food writer and the current Marquis de La Coudraye.[17][18][19]

Marriage/child

On 6 October 1966, she married Desmond FitzGerald, 29th Knight of Glin (1937-2011), an Irish nobleman. They separated the following year and divorced in 1970. Her title upon marrying the knight was Madam FitzGerald.[30]

On 11 June 1977, she married Thadée Klossowski de Rola, a French writer, who is the younger son of the painter Balthus in Paris, France. She wore a harem-and-turban ensemble from Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. They had one child:[31]

Wow. Great catch. I had no idea there was a connection between these two families (de la Falaise and Klossowski/Balthus).

Balthus other son, Stash, was a big player in the 1960's 'Swinging London', a musician, and heavily into the occult - he wrote several books about alchemy. His father created pedophile art, was into esoteric as well, and was friends with Madonna, Bono, the Dalai Lama - and created a pedophile drawing for a wine label for Phillippine de Rothschild's vineyard.
