• Notes

  Baron Ernst-Lyssandt von Hoyningen-Huene: A Life of Brief Public Intrigue Baron Ernst-Lyssandt von Hoyningen-Huene, born on February 9, 1930, was a German nobleman who garnered media attention in the 1950s through his marriage to the wealthy heiress Nancy Oakes. His father was Baron Hermann von Hoyningen-Huene and his mother was Ursula Maria Elsbeth von Hoyningen Huene. In a notable family connection, Ernst-Lyssandt was adopted by his cousin, the renowned fashion photographer Baron George Hoyningen-Huene. On December 29, 1952, Baron Ernst-Lyssandt married Nancy Oakes, daughter of the murdered gold-mining tycoon Sir Harry Oakes. The wedding, a glamorous affair, captured public interest. However, the marriage was short-lived, ending in divorce in 1956. Details regarding Baron Ernst-Lyssandt's profession and his life following the divorce are not widely documented in public records. Information about his later life and the date and circumstances of his death remain largely private. Alexander von Hoyningen-Huene: A Brief Foray into the World of Fashion The union of Baron Ernst-Lyssandt and Nancy Oakes produced one son, Alexander George Lyssardt von Hoyningen-Huene, born on February 17, 1955. Often referred to as "Sasha," Alexander's life has been considerably more private than that of his parents. Following a period of relative obscurity, it is reported that in 1985, Alexander relocated to New York City. There, he pursued an education in fashion, enrolling in courses at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology. His entry into the fashion industry saw him working for Herbert Rounick and subsequently for the iconic designer Oscar de la Renta. At Oscar de la Renta, Alexander was involved in designing for the brand's Japanese licenses, a role he held for five years. Information regarding Alexander von Hoyningen-Huene's career path after his tenure at Oscar de la Renta and his subsequent endeavors is not publicly available. He has since maintained a low profile, away from the public eye.
