As icons go, I love the personal style of Loulou de la Falaise. More than a muse to the great Yves Saint Laurent (another hero of mine), she embodied what I find exciting about fashion

The celebration of individuality. De la Falaise was never afraid to show who she was, and she’s remembered as a fearless dresser with an eclectic taste in jewellery. A Rastafari-inspired necklace (1) would’ve fit perfectly in her stash; so would have Gucci’s vintage-looking turban (3). For that rich update on bohemia, mix plush velvets with luxe brocades-an Ellery jacket (11) and CH Carolina Herrera pants (12) make informed options. Dolce&Gabbana’s ornate slip-ons (9) pack the right dash of Moroccan panache. Ditto, the intoxicating whiffs of Armani Privé’s Vert Malachite scent (14). As de la Falaise once mused, “A fashion faux pas is what happens when you’re not confident with yourself.” So start feeling comfortable in your own skin and have a bit of fun along the way.
