Art Inspiration: French Icons

By Gary Lawrence

Charles Baudelaire invested every sentiment in women. He appreciated their drama, their nature, and their ubiquitous uniqueness. “This monster is one of those animals that one generally calls ‘my angel’! – that is, a woman.” He chalked in his poetry collection Paris Spleen. Objection does not stand when it comes to the vivacious emotions of women, which act as a force that pushes forward the inspirations. They can be gentle, elusive, or flamboyant.

A bouquet of hydrangeas is a source of their euphoria, and unspeakable memories can lead to their bluest melancholia.

But no one can ever claim a generalization. Probably Verdi had made a suggestion that everyone can agree on in Rigoletto, La donna è mobile.

If people may argue, it is women’s disposition that enthuses artists. And yet, verisimilarly, a posture would suffice and instigate the connoisseurs—the tension between beauty and individuality. Amongst all, French women are especially recognized for their balance of this tension. In retrospection of the modern culture, it’s irrefutable that these prominent women express themselves in an iconic way and simultaneously eliminate many entrenched prejudices.

Francoise Sagan

Francoise Hagan was rebellious, like a maverick. As a writer, she was a romantic with a strong ability to distinguish between love and hate.

Bourgeois lifestyle smothered her, so she escaped. She raced and she smoked. Marriage could not incarcerate her. She loved black attire and pearls.

She even wrote, in her own obituary, that her death was a scandal to her own life. Henri Salvador wrote a song for her demise: Mourir Ă Honfluer.

Ines de la Fressange

Who said models only own beauty?

Bestowed with outstanding appearance and flair, de la Fressange is a beautiful yet brilliant French icon. An aristocrat, she continuously embodies fineness. In the 80’s she was the first-choice model and muse to Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. Eventually, frictions arose between Ines and Karl, and they drifted apart . Ines, however, never stopped being an icon. In the 90s, she successfully rebranded the legendary French shoe label, Roger Vivier. To this day she still flows with sophistication and grace. Ines, was and continues to be exemplary model and entrepreneur in modern fashion industry.

Loulou de la Falaise

Many know her relationship with Yves Saint Laurent, and affix the term “muse”. In response to this title she claims, “For me, a muse is someone who looks glamorous but is quite passive, whereas I was very hardworking. I worked from 9am to sometimes 9pm, or even 2am. I certainly wasn’t passive.”

She accompanied Saint Laurent for three decades until he retired. She inspired him and encouraged him. Her eccentric, rare, and classy taste won her the reputation of “quintessential Rive Gauche haute bohémienne” by The New Yorker magazine.

If Loulou had carved letters on her jewelries, she would have written that fashion is more than phony opulence. Skill, refinement, and confidence are just a few of the tools necessary to create a garment or a pair of earrings.

The Past, Presen

Wedding gown with lace collar from Historic Costume and Textiles Collection

nt, and Future: While certain fads come and go, lace has been the fabric of choice since Queen Elizabeth I decided that her ruff needed a more intricate ornamentation. To this day, lace has made and integral appearance in nearly every century since the 16th century.

From Marie Antoinette’s lace adorned wardrobe to Elie Saab’s 2014 lace garden collection, this trend has proven time and again to be a timeless symbol of elegance and style.

Chantilly lace, popularly found in wedding gowns such as Kate Middleton’s opulent number, is delicate and ornate. A handmade lace, Chantilly is accented with flowers and ribbons on a plain net or sheer background.

Although it is widely used in wedding gowns, the Chantilly design is popular in black apparel and greatly esteemed in French fashion.

In the midst of the surge of popularity the fabric is seeing, people continue to make lace their fabric of choice. From peek-a-boo sleeves to eyelet lace overlay,or lace trim embroidery, even a slight tinge of lace can add an essence of grandeur to any ensemble.

From lace-adorned cuffs and collars in the eighteenth century to fashion week runways today, lace is an integral part of men’s fashion as well. Designers such as Alexander McQueen and Astrid Andersen have utilized the unisex appeal of lace and assembled it into an array of men’s apparel. Sheer buttondowns and lace-trimmed blazers spotted down the runway show that lace is a fabric with universal applications. The different characteristics of lace, whether it be delicate, sexy, or traditional, has allowed the fashion industry to expand in its horizons.

— Shaili Rathod

While Chantilly is popular amongst wedding ensembles, Reticella, Italian for “little net” is a design that involves cutwork, wherein squares of woven linen are cut out. This intricate design ultimately forms a geometric pattern of squares and circles with various arches or rippled borders.

The most common type of lace is the eyelet lace. It is distinguished by the large holes or “eyelets” integrated into the pattern.

Eyelet lace is often used as a trim or insert in garments. Usually going in a repeating pattern, eyelet lace is designed in various sizes and shapes ranging from diamonds to floral.
