Loulou de la Falaise obituary https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2011/nov/08/loulou-de-la-falaise

The way Loulou de la Falaise told it, she had been baptised by her mother with a dab of the Schiaparelli perfume Shocking in lieu of water; or even bathed in the scent at birth. That might not have been literally true – Loulou was born in severely austere postwar Britain (in Sussex), to which her mother, the bohemian Maxime de la Falaise, had returned briefly from Paris.

Maxime was Anglo-Irish, married to Comte Alain de la Falaise just long enough to produce Loulou and her brother, Alexis, before a most unamicable divorce. On the basis of her extramarital amours, a French court considered Maxime to be so unexemplary a mother that Loulou and Alexis were consigned to foster care. Maxime had to apply to the law to regain custody..

Maxime de la Falaise, who has died aged 86, was brought up to make, host and be decorative. ..

She was born Maxine Birley to the liner-and-express social circle that preceded the jet set. Her father was Sir Oswald Birley, by the end of the Edwardian era already in demand as a portraitist... The Birleys were the highest of haute bohemia. They lived in a Hampstead house in north London with a studio designed by Clough Williams-Ellis, and later in Charleston Manor in East Sussex, which Rhoda had retrieved from ruin..Maxine and her younger brother Mark (who later founded Annabel's nightclub) were raised eccentric though well-connected, and always in fear of maternal storms.

Bloomsbury Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomsbury_Group

The Bloomsbury Group—or Bloomsbury Set—was a group of associated English writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists in the first half of the 20th century,[1] including Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, E. M. Forster and Lytton Strachey. This loose collective of friends and relatives was closely associated with Cambridge University for the men and King's College London for the women, and they lived, worked or studied together near Bloomsbury, London. According to Ian Ousby, "although its members denied being a group in any formal sense, they were united by an abiding belief in the importance of the arts."[2] Their works and outlook deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics as well as modern attitudes towards feminism, pacifism, and sexuality.

All male members of the Bloomsbury Group, except Duncan Grant, were educated at Cambridge (either at Trinity or King’s College). Most of them, except Clive Bell and the Stephen brothers, were members of "the exclusive Cambridge society, the 'Apostles'".

A Cambridge secret revealed: the Apostles http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/archive-centre/archive-month/january-2011.html

The Apostles is a secret society of Cambridge University members that meets to discuss and debate such topics as truth, God, and ethics. The group, also known as the Cambridge Conversazione Society, was founded in 1820 by George Tomlinson. Tomlinson went on to become the first Bishop of Gibraltar.

Despite its University foundations the group's influence went well beyond Cambridge, and many eminent Victorians, Edwardians, and Georgians belonged to it. Since its foundation the society has included some of the most influential men in British public life: John Maynard Keynes, Leonard Woolf, Lytton Strachey and his brother James, GE Moore and Rupert Brooke were all Apostles. Many members of the Bloomsbury group were also Apostles: Keynes, Woolf and Lytton Strachey being the best known of them.

Other notable Apostles include three spies of the 'Cambridge Five' - Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross.

Cambridge Five https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Five

The Cambridge Spy Ring was a ring of spies in the United Kingdom, who passed information to the Soviet Union during World War II and was active at least into the early 1950s. None were ever prosecuted for spying. ..he term "Cambridge" refers to the recruitment of the group during their education at the University of Cambridge in the 1930s. Debate surrounds the exact timing of their recruitment by Soviet intelligence; Anthony Blunt claimed that they were not recruited as agents until they had graduated. Blunt, an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College, was several years older than Burgess, Maclean, and Philby; he acted as a talent-spotter and recruiter for most of the group save Burgess.[1]

All of the five were convinced that the Marxism–Leninism of Soviet Communism was the best available political system, and especially the best defence against the rise of fascism. All pursued successful careers in branches of the British government. They passed large amounts of intelligence to the Soviet Union, so much so that the KGB became suspicious that at least some of it was false. Perhaps as important as the intelligence they passed was the demoralizing effect to the British Establishment of their slow unmasking, and the mistrust in British security this caused in the United States.

Many others have also been accused of membership in the Cambridge ring. Blunt, Burgess and Cairncross were all members of the Cambridge Apostles, an exclusive and prestigious society based at Trinity and King's Colleges. Other Apostles accused of having spied for the Soviets include Michael Straight and Guy Liddell.

Additional members include Baron Rothschild ..
