Lucien Lelong belongs to an elite pantheon of French designers who, in the early 20th century, became instrumental in shaping the world of haute couture for decades to come. Among his contemporaries were Chanel, Worth, Patou, Lanvin and Schiaparelli, each of whom has left an indelible mark on fashion.
Lelong was born in Paris on October 11, 1889, the son of Arthur and Valentine Lelong. In 1921, he opened the fashion house of Lucien Lelong. Success seemed to come to him overnight. In 1924, he left the Madeleine district to settle at 16 Avenue Matignon in Paris and started his perfume company. Believing perfume to be an essential part of a woman's dress, the designer in 1924 established the Société des Parfums Lucien Lelong, experimenting with fragrance using very modern, luxury presentations. Lelong eventually had shops in London and New York.
Taglio was actually launched in 1928 as "Parfum N" and while it was still made in Paris, it was renamed Taglio for the US market in the early 1940’s. Taglio is a distinctly floral fragrance for women. It was a tribute to his second wife, the great beauty Natalia Paley, whom he married in 1927. Paley was the daughter of Grande Duke Paul Alexandrovitch and his second wife, Princess Olga Pistolkors. Natalie Paley was the first cousin of Nicholas II, the last Romanov emperor of Russia. Paley, born in France, returned to France at the time of the Russian Revolution. Both her father and brother had been killed by Bolsheviks. During her marriage to Lelong she worked for him as a fashion model and then launched a career as an actress, working both in France and the United States.
