OLD SCHOOL- Lady Lucille/Duff Gordon

Whenever some one makes reference to the name Lady Lucile I can't help but think of Nicole, Charlene and myself, mostly because she she began designing and dress making as a hobby, only making pieces for her friends.




She went on to open her own fashion house in the late 1800's. But, it wasn't until she married Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon that she started designing for high societies internationally, creating for upper echelon circles anywhere from New York to Paris (insert french accent here)

Lady Lucile's signature was a sultry touch that was romantic yet bold. Her collections were mostly fabricated in laces and silks.
Now, because Lady Lucile was daring and innovative her collections were always a surprise. She was widely known for her startling pieces which revealed and concealed a women's sex appeal.... simultaneously (raises eyebrow).









My fair lady indeed.
