Elle is a female name, which is usually pronounced “Ell”, but is sometimes pronounced “Ellie”. It derives from the French pronoun “elle”, meaning “she”.
Lola is a feminine given name, a short form of the Spanish name Dolores, meaning “sorrows“, a name taken from a title of the Virgin Mary: Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, or Our Lady of Sorrows.
Elle and Lola first met on a breezy summer day in Hong Kong, at dinner at one of the best French restaurants in town – Pierre, Mandarin Oriental.
They bounded quickly over a few common interests, such as their love of following amusing Instagram accounts. Lola’s favourite is YOUDIDNOTEATTHAT, which Elle started to follow faithfully ever after. And in exchange, Lola thanked Elle for sharing the cute animal Instagram account AWWCLUB with her.
It was so obvious to Elle that this Lola – Lola Rykiel – does not come anywhere close to what Lola is supposed to stand for (sorrow). And Lola kept telling Elle that Elle Lee is definitely the funniest SHE Lola had ever met – hence as you can imagine, our dinner was full of laughter and juicy topics ^_^ (I’ll be keeping the juicy parts to myself for now – girls’ talk!)
As the granddaughter of fashion designer Sonia Rykiel, Lola now resides in New York City and heads the PR & Communications team of the Sonia Rykiel brand globally. She is a modern Parisian lady who is sophisticated but not boring, and is effortlessly chic, well-travelled and full of energy – basically the perfect embodiment of what a Sonia Rykiel girl should be!
In fact, Lola would be the perfect candidate to take Elle around Paris, just like Sonia by Sonia Rykiel’s latest short film shot in Paris “#VIVEPARIS” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjW6C3nzPOI
Will this happen during Paris Fashion Week? Who knows!
All I know is “Sonia” – with bangs and a red bob – has already been spotted in London with Elle. So there is hope for a happy reunion of Lola and Elle… after all, it’s only a EuroStar ride away!
