Lalique is by far my biggest inspiration when I'm working on my designs. He was very unique indeed. However, to me the entire genre was very interesting - the "Fleur du mal" (the orchid, symbolizing the female genitalia, which drove men mad) is a good example of what went on. There was a un-frightenness of depicting beauty and what we percieve as non-aestetic-ness. Very bold in my oppinion and not to be sniffed at!
