Lola Prusac (18 January 1895 – 29 October 1985) was a Polish-born French fashion designer noted for her inventive and original way of dressing, [1] who worked for Hermès in Paris between 1925 and 1935. [2] She was first "with the unusual position of counselor for colors", [3] then as a modéliste ( designer). [4] At Hermès she designed in 1929 their first women collection, [5] silk squares,. [6] and in the early 1930s bags with geometric inlays inspired by the Dutch painter Mondrian. [7] In 1936, she founded her own fashion house, [8] specialising in "sport-tricot" (casual knits) clothes. [9] For this reason, though she had been a member since 1942, the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture denied her in 1952 the "Couture-Création" status. [9] [10]
In 1978, Lola Prusac received an aiguille d'or (golden needle), a French award sometimes granted together with the more prestigious dé d'or (golden thimble). [11][ full citation needed].
