Product Information
No one interested in fashion, style, or the high-flying intrigues of caf society will want to miss Christopher Petkanas's exuberantly entertaining oral biography Loulou & Yves: The Untold Story of Loulou de La Falaise and the House of Saint Laurent . Dauntless, "in the bone" style made Loulou de La Falaise one of the great fashion firebrands of the twentieth century. Descending in a direct line from Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, she was celebrated at her death in 2011, aged just sixty-four, as the "highest of haute bohemia," a feckless adventuress in the art of living--and the one person Yves Saint Laurent could not live without. Yves was the most influential designer of his times; possibly also the most neurasthenic. In an exquisitely intimate, sometimes painful personal and professional relationship, Loulou was his creative right hand, muse, alter ego and the virtuoso behind all the flamboyant accessories that were a crucial component of the YSL "look." For thirty years, until his retirement in 2002, Yves relied on Loulou to inspire him, make him laugh and talk him off the ledge--the enchanted formula that brought him from one historic collection to the next. Yves's many tributes shape Loulou's memory, as if everything there was to know about this fugitive, Giacometti-like figure could be told by her clanking bronze cuffs, towering fur toques, the turquoise boulders on her fingers and her working friendship with the man who put women in pants. But another, darker story lifts the veil on Loulou, a classic "number two" with a contempt for convention, and exposes the underbelly of fashion at its highest level. Behind Yves's encomiums are a pair of aristocrat parents--Loulou's shiftless French father and menacingly chic English mother--who abandoned her to a childhood of foster care and sexual abuse; Loulou's recurring desperation to leave Yves and go out on her own; and the grandiose myths surrounding her family. Loulou felt that her life had been kidnapped by the operatic workings of the House of Saint Laurent, and in her last years faced financial ruin. Loulou & Yves unspools an elusive fashion idol--nymphomaniacal, heedless and up to her bracelets in coke and Boizel champagne--at the core of what used to be called "le beau monde."

Reviews
"... the high-fashion world of yesteryear... has been brought back to life in a compulsively readable oral history, Loulou & Yves: The Untold Story of Loulou de La Falaise and the House of Saint Laurent --though that tome likewise has some lessons we might all take on board... So what does it really mean to be a designer's 'muse'? Read the book and find out."--Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times "The legendary LouLou de la Falaise and Thadee Klossowski... Paloma Picasso and Bianca Jagger... the late Pierre Berge and Yves Saint Laurent... Baronne Guy de Rothschild, social queen of Paris! Read all about these sacred monsters in Christopher Petkanas['s] LouLou and Yves . This book is an oral biography of Paris fashion between the glittering years when LouLou was the light between all the characters! It's a modern Balzac history! You will want to give the book and also read it. It soars! It roars! Petkanas has achieved in this book, a smash artistic hit... absorb[ing] you in the history of high fashion in the 70s."--André Leon Talley, fashion journalist and subject of the documentary "The World According to André" "Red-hot."--Fern Mallis, host of "Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis" at the 92nd Street Y, NYC "A must read!"--Sandra Bernhard, actress, comedian and host of Sandyland on SiriusXM "... at 495 pages, [Loulou & Yves] will no doubt prove essential reading for anyone fascinated with the Saint Laurent legend." --Joelle Diderich, Women's Wear Daily "[ Loulou & Yves ] ruffles fancy feathers."--Richard Johnson, New York Post "Like all good biographies, Loulou & Yves ... is a portrait of not just its subject... but of her place and time... The result is a crackling good read with a pleasing superabundance of salt, wit and dish; even the contributor bios are snarky."--Nell Baram, Shelf Awareness, MainStreet BookEnds "For 30 years, [Loulou de La Falaise] helped Saint Laurent see things through rose-coloured glasses. A new book reveals why the troubled designer was drawn to his right-hand woman's more-is-more style... As detailed in Christopher Petkanas's... Loulou & Yves , De la Falaise was by Yves Saint Laurent's side for 30 years."--Lauren Cochrane, The Guardian "From the book: 'On the theory that everyone loves a cocktail party, and because people with a drink in their hand tend to be candid, Loulou & Yves traces Loulou's life chronologically through the memories of more than two hundred voices: husbands, lovers, extended family, friends, enemies, slightly less bitter detractors, colleagues, groupies, Yves, pundits, hangers-on and Grace Jones.' The good news is that you are all invited to eavesdrop on every morsel of information and tidbit of gossip that so many so freely offer at this 'party.' --Jeffrey Felner, New York Journal of Books
