SS2 E12 The Power of the Muse: How Betty Catroux, Loulou de la Falaise, Isabella Blow & Daphne Guinness Wrote Fashion History

What would fashion be without its muses?

Yves Saint Laurent had two faces – Betty Catroux, the androgynous, cool Parisian, and Loulou de la Falaise, the colour-loving sunshine in his melancholy.

Isabella Blow discovered Alexander McQueen, shaped his genius – and was tragically alienated by him.

Daphne Guinness transformed pain into style and preserved Blow's legacy like a modern martyr of couture.These women were more than inspiration – they were mirrors, driving forces, lifelines.

Without the great muses of fashion, there would be no Le Smoking, no Loulou Bag, no myth.

In this episode, we dive deep into the secret ecosystem of passion, power and projection that operates behind the biggest fashion houses.
