Princess Ira von Fustenberg died, Lagerfeld's muse and Prince Monaco's beloved
She was the daughter of Clara Angelli, the sisters of the heir Fiat Gianni Angelli. Father von Furstenberg, Prince Tassilo von Furstenberg, was the son of the Hungarian Countess and Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and her grandmother was Princess Virginia San Fastino behind the mother line. At the age of 15, Ira married Prince Alfonso Gogenloe, the godson of the Spanish king, whose ancestors were the ruling princes of the Holy Roman Empire.
However, Alfonso's wealth was exhausted, so he was engaged in real estate, and thanks to him, the quiet fishing villages of Marbelia and Costa-Del-Sol became fashionable Spanish resorts. The wedding was scandalous because the bride was too young and the bride was 31 years old. The prince had to obtain permission in the Vatican. During their honeymoon in New York, Salvador then asked her to pose naked (the proposal that her husband quickly rejected) and danced with Frank Sinatra.
But the marriage lasted only three years, as the princess was accused of marital infidelity. Ira gave birth to two sons. The elder, Christoph, died in Bangkok, junior, Huberus, was a member of the Olympic Mexico on Ski Sports and became a famous photographer. After the calculation, Ira married the Brazilian Playboy-Industrial Francisco Matarazo "Babby" Pinhatari, who was 23 years older than her, in Reno, Nevada, in 1961, but this also ended in a divorce-in Las Vegas.
According to British writer Nick Fowlx, Ira von Furstenberg "was famous in her time and in her way of life, like Kim Kardashian now. " "The awareness of it in the world that existed before the Internet appeared was very stunning. The volume of newspaper clippings that I had to go through was simply incredible," said Fowlks WWD at the time. "She had a rebellious vein, and she was a very independent woman at a time when the world was still very masculine.
She made many decisions that were considered bold at the time," Fowlks writes. She challenged the conventions, being a young model Emilio Pucci, from time to time walking the podium and posting Newton Helmut and Cecil Biton. "Ira was a wonderful friend of the family and knew my father from the age of 14," said Emilio Ludomy Pucci's daughter. The Furstenberg von was a client of a fashionable house, a favorite of Diana Wrileland, and supported Karl Lagerfeld in his early career.
She became Valentino's prison and was rumored to be a secret beloved Prince Monaco Renier after Grace Kelly's death. "I always knew IRI, we even worked together on my first perfume. Beautiful and always smiling, Ira had an unwavering passion for everything she thought," said Valentino Garavan. Diana von Furstenberg, who was her daughter -in -law with the first marriage with Egon von Furstenberg, said, "When I first met Egon, she was his famous sister. She married Venice and became a movie star.
She was an older sister and my aunt. She was part of the elite of Italy and was very sociable, cheerful and loved to get acquainted with new people. " Ira starred in Dino de Laurentis, appearing in 30 films in the late 1960s and 70s. She allegedly abandoned the lead role in Barbarel, a cult classic of science fiction that helped Jane Foundie to become a star. For many years, she has collected works by Roy Liechtenstein, Jean Dubuffe, Max Ernst, Joseph Alberz and Iva Klein.
Traveling the world, spending her life between Paris, Barrice and London, after she left acting, she began to create household items, many of which were combined with precious and semi -precious stones, calling this line "Objets Uniques". Some of these works eventually found themselves in museums. Ira confessed that she began to design when she could not find a gift for her friend, a movie star Kirk Douglas.
