Lucienne von Doz, creator of the LUCIENNE line of
products, is an American beauty of legendary caliber, a novelist, and a patron
of the arts.
Born in New York City she studied here and abroad. There she was to marry an
Austrian count who saw that she was gowned by the top couturiers of Paris-including
Coco Chanel and Madame Grés, jeweled by Cartier and Boucheron, and taken
off to party with the aristocracy and glitterati of Europe and Hollywood. But
the Countess, restless with the protocols of this world, ended the union in
divorce.
She returned to the states to become the 'face' and spokesperson for Crème
de le Mer. Continuing her love of music, and counting among her friends Pavorotti,
Renée Fleming, Joan Sutherland, and Marilyn Horn she began The Singers
Development Foundation, a not-for-profit organization to foster the careers
of promising young opera singers.
Her first published novel, The
Seventh Ceiling, a rags-to-riches story of international cosmetics,
contains in fictionalized form much of these experiences.
In the LUCIENNE line she has turned her energy, talent
and time to creating unique products for the discerning woman of today.
Profits from book and product sales go to The Singers Development Foundation.
