La Falaise was considered to be the ultimate bohemian beauty in her day. The accessories and jewellery designer died at age 64 in 2011, and spent many decades as a close friend and confidante of Saint Laurent. This new volume, penned by New York City writer Christopher Petkanas, tells the story of the trendsetter and her friendship with Saint Laurent. Born to a French father and an english mother, de La Falaise was abandoned by her parents, and had a tough upbringing, but later found happiness in the world of fashion.
