Inès de la Fressange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inès Marie Lætitia Églantine Isabelle de Seignard de la Fressange (born 11 August 1957), is a French designer of fashion and perfumes.
She was born in Gassin, Var, France. Her French father, André de Seignard de La Fressange (b. 1932) (a marquis), was a stockbroker, and her mother,Cecilia Sanchez-Cirez, was an Argentine model. She grew up in an 18th-century mill outside Paris with three brothers. Her grandmother was Madame Simone Jacquinot, heiress to the Lazard banking fortune.
In the 1980s, she modeled for photographer Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, becoming his muse, but in 1989, they had an argument and parted company.
In 1989, she became one of the series of models whose image represented Marianne, the French national emblem of reason and liberty.
In 1990, she married Luigi d'Urso (d. March 23, 2006), an Italian railroad executive, with whom she had two daughters.
De la Fressange does not now model very often. She is now a businesswoman with a chain of clothing boutiques, a designer and a consultant for Jean-Paul Gaultier.
