Loulou de la Falaise was a muse, collaborator, and designer, best known for her magnetic sense of style that inspired Yves Saint Laurent and captivated the rest of the world. With her passing last week, we lost a style icon who, from the decadent ‘70s until the present day, mixed party-girl and bohemian sensibilities to show off colourful, playful outfits and design show-stopping accessories.

FASHION Plates: Your ultimate guide to the haute-ifying Rocky Horror Picture Show

By Randi Bergman | October 25th, 2011 | 4:00 pm

Trick-or-treating aside, one of our favourite Halloween rituals has to be attending a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show. For those of you virgins (we’re not really calling you virgins) who have never been to a show, we implore you to try it for yourself this year. There are generally midnight showings for many days leading up to and on Halloween night, and it’s a great excuse to dress up, bring some rice to a theatre, and let your freak flag fly.

But, what to wear? The Rocky Horror look can get a little trashy at times, so we present our ultimate guide to haute-ifying it. Yes, some of these price tags are a wee bit of a splurge for one night only, but we predict that you’ll want to wash and repeat for many years to come.
