The badass of MICHELE LAMY

Behind every great designer, there is a more amazing muse feeding his genius, and for Rick Owens, it comes courtesy of his fashion legend wife and collaborator, Michele Lamy. Michele is French, although she used to live in LA for ages running a hot nightclub/restaurant called Les Deux. Ever since I saw her on Jak and Jil, I was intrigued by her authentic and eccentric aura. She is a lady that would be turning heads and captivating any space with her incredible presence.  She has the look of an Urban Inca Queen that is in love with big, bold, over the top jewelry. Her jewelry collection is to die for, and I sure wouldn't mind stealing some of her rings. Her hands are testimony to her pre and post apocalyptic vision. Tattooed fingers coupled with henna-blackened nails,  a heady mix of mountain-dwelling Berber queen, steam punk and prophetess from the Sacred Prostitutes of Babylon crew.  Not bad for someone who used to be a lawyer.


There are myths floating around that she is a a gypsy, 1600 years old, a witch, an arms dealer, a striper and a philosopher. To our surprise, the only ones that are true were that she was a striper and a philosopher.  With Gisela and I thinking of all French things and people lately, I couldn't help but do a posting on her recent November editorial with French Vogue shot by Steven Klein with French/Norwegian Model Nils Butler.
