There are few other figures in history who lived as authentically, inspired as much genius, and had such avant-garde visions of fashion, design, and self-image as Luisa Casati.

In this episode we share the incredible life story of the Marchesa Luisa Casati, an Italian heiress who used her fortune to...

She stands, tall, in her black dress, the epitome of class, style, and grace. Suspended in time as a relic from a gilded age of the past, her effortless attitude has made her cooler than cool for well over a century. Dubbed Madame X, her identity has been clouded in mystery, only adding to her allure. But in this episode we give Madame X back her name and share her incredible life story.
