Michéle Lamy: the subversive style shaman on couture, chaos and Kim Kardashian
French fashion disruptor Michéle Lamy is known as the wife of designer Rick Owens but she's is a chameleonic creative in her own right, forever staging art happenings and musical collaborations around the world, as well as co-designing the furniture for the Rick Owens line. She’s so in-demand that she’s tricky to track down: we did this interview partly in London, at Claridges, and partly at the Chateau Marmont in LA, where Michéle lived until the early 2000s. In those days, she was better known as the owner of cult Hollywood nightspot Les Deux Cafe, where she performed smoky jazz numbers in her thick drawl. Now Michéle is more nomadic, attracting beautiful freaks wherever she goes. A gothic style icon, her signature look is ink-dipped fingers, a line of kohl on her forehead and a cigarette always in her hand. Listen out for her many bangles too, which clank as she speaks about her style awakening in the Moroccan desert, why she loves collaboration and much more.
