"Lyn Revson was married to the founder of Revlon and became a fashion icon in her own right. She was a muse to the great American designer Norman Norell and had a wonderful opportunity to collaborate on a bag with Hermes. She put a clock on the bag so she could always tell the time and in 1996, Hermes began selling the bag in their stores. Today, they are nearly impossible to find.
She represented the way a certain group of people were able to live in New York, that very international jet-set life and she was very admired for her style as a public figure. As such, she was also one of the first women to brand the lifestyle she lived through the book she wrote in the 1970's, Lyn Revson's World of Style: How to Join It and Live It. She lived an elegant life in all aspects of her life. It really inspires me." - Cameron Silver
