CLAD IN COUTURE, SIGNATURE RACOON STARE, FIRE RED HAIR
THE MOST ECCENTRIC WOMAN KNOWN TO THE WORLD. LA MARCHESA LUISA CASATI. SHE WAS NOT PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL, BUT HER ALLURE AND STYLE WAS HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER. BECOMING THE MUSE OF COUNTLESS ARTIST AND COUTURIER FOR PAST AND PRESENT.
AS A YOUNG WOMAN SHE INHERITED HER FORTUNE MAKING HER THE RICHEST WOMAN IN ITALY. THROWING THE MOST LAVISH BALLS, PARADING AROUND EUROPE WITH A BOA CONSTRICTOR WRAPPED ROUND AS IF IT WAS CHANEL PEARLS, OR STRUTTING THE NIGHT DRAPED NAKED IN FUR WHILE HARNESSING HER CHEETAHS WITH DIAMOND LEASHES, LA MARCHESA WAS THE "IT GIRL"
AND AS ANY TRUE ECCENTRIC, SHE SAW HER OWN DEMISE, CREATING A DEBT OF $25 MILLION (I THOUGHT I HAD IT BAD) BUT SHE NEVER COMPROMISED HER STYLE. THE BLACK KOHL EYES NEVER LEFT. WHEN KOHL WAS UNAFFORDABLE SHOE POLISH WOULD SAFISE. JUST GOES TO SHOW NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE STYLE AND FASHION ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.
"ONE CAN NOT LOOSE THEIR STYLE, ONE CAN ONLY GO OUT OF FASHION"- STYLE LORD
