Lola (1893-1985). French dressmaker born in Belgium. She was called Leontine, but chose Lola as her working name. She set up on her own in Paris in 1937, after being discovered by Hermès. Her creativity played on a taste for high-quality craftsmanship, fabrics, jewelry, and hand-embroidery, fuelled by research trips to India, Greece, and Egypt. She worked up to the age of 87.
