Une histoire de haute couture
Bien que toutes les maisons royales et aristocratiques possédaient des vêtements sur mesure, et rivalisaient pour la création de tendances de mode, le terme haute couture est associé rétrospectivement aux robes de la créatrice de mode Rose Bertin pour la reine Marie-Antoinette. Les vêtements étaient illustrés et imprimés dans des magazines de mode, inventés au siècle précédent, puis copiés par des couturiers locaux, créant ainsi une mode plus rapide. Cependant, la haute couture telle que nous la connaissons aujourd’hui n’est apparue que vers la fin des années 1850.
Charles Fredrick Worth (1825-1895) a contribué à définir cette industrie du luxe telle que nous la connaissons actuellement. Il a été le premier à présenter ses nouvelles collections une saison à l’avance, à engager des mod��les pour présenter ses vêtements, à les vendre en exclusivité ou en copie, ainsi qu’à introduire une étiquette cousue à l’intérieur de chaque vêtement. Il est également amusant de constater que sa femme a été la première modèle rémunérée de l’histoire, dans les années 1850.
Sa boutique parisienne habillait entre autres l’impératrice Eugénie de France et l’impératrice Elisabeth d’Autriche, mais son véritable héritage pourrait être sa participation à la création de la Chambre syndicale de la haute couture, une réforme des corporations professionnelles médiévales désuetes.
Le terme haute couture vient de « haute » signifiant « élevée » ou « élégante », et « couture » signifiant « confection de vêtements ». Pour bénéficier de ce terme, les vêtements doivent être confectionnés aux mesures individuelles du client, l’atelier doit être situé à Paris et employer au moins 15 personnes à temps plein et au moins 20 employés techniques, à temps plein ou à temps partiel, et présenter deux collections annuelles d’au moins 50 créations originales par saison.
De nos jours, le terme désigne également des pratiques similaires dans d’autres capitales mondiales de la mode.

“Muse” est un mot qui me fait rigoler, parce que personne ne sait ce qu’il signifie. C’est l’influence d’une attitude, je suppose, mais le mot est complètement faux, il ne semble pas faire partie de la vie réelle. Alors que, bien au contraire, mon influence sur Yves relève entièrement de la vie réelle, l’amie qui travaille avec lui et qui, de temps en temps, lui dit: “Ne sois pas aussi bête, Yves.”
- LouLou de la Falaise
Loulou de la Falaise was model, designer, and more well known as Yves Saint Laurent’s long-running muse for his fashion designs.
Cecil Beaton famously said she was the only English woman he knew who could be “really chic in really hideous clothes” - de la Falaise was part of high society. But she was also always a hard worker that became a fashion icon. She became the quintessential Rive Gauche haute bohémienne.
Born on 4 May 1948 in England, Louise Vava Lucia Henriette de la Falaise had an Irish mother, Maxime Birley, Elsa Schiaparelli's favourite model, and a French father, Alain de la Falaise. She was the granddaughter of the artist Oswald Birley, official painter to the Royal Court. From the age of 7, Loulou de La Falaise studied at a boarding school in England, then in Switzerland. She spent her teenage years in London, then the capital of pop culture, and then became a fashion editor before following her mother to New York in the 1960s. She then posed for fashion photos and designed prints for Halston. In New York she was firm friends with Andy Warhol and immersed herself in the fashion scene there.
She didn’t have much luck in relationships. She was first married at 18 years old to an Irish aristocrat, Desmond Fitzgerald, from whom she soon separated. In 1977, Loulou de la Falaise married Thadée Klossowski de Rola, son of the painter Balthus, a marriage organised by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé on a small island in the Bois de Boulogne. She has a daughter, Anna, born in 1986, of whom Yves Saint Laurent was godfather.
Yves Saint Laurent once said of his muse, “Loulou de la Falaise's real talent, apart from her undeniable professional qualities, was her charm. She had the strange power of the gift of lightness, mixed with an irreproachable acuity of her look on fashion. Intuitive, innate, unique.” Loulou de la Falaise met him in 1968, at a tea party given by his stylist friend, Fernando Sanchez. She joined Yves Saint Laurent in 1972 at the designer's request and quickly became one of his closest collaborators. Loulou de La Falaise, who had a passion for colour and a gift for eccentricity, remained at his side for 30 years, creating jewellery and hats for the haute couture house.
While many consider her Yves’s ‘muse’, she was much more than that, and became head designer for accessories. She was literally his taste check, someone he could depend on to brainstorm concepts with, finalise colour selections. She said once, "Accessories have an important role in our stressful lives. If you go out to dinner and you don't have time to go home and change, you can take off your jacket and put on a piece of jewellery," She loved rare woods and brightly coloured stones, giant enamel flowers and had hearts fashioned from rock crystal, her lucky material. "The important thing is to invent yourself," she used to say.
After Yves Saint Laurent’s death in 2002, Loulou de la Falaise launched her own brand and collaborated with different groups by creating jewellery lines. In 2011, she created a line of jewellery exclusively for the Majorelle garden boutique in Marrakech, the garden that also housed Yves Saint Laurent's ashes. Loulou de la Falaise passed away 2011.
