Alright, let’s talk about this Michele Lamy, eh? I heard some things about her, you know, from the TV and such. Folks say she’s real old now, like, 80 years old or somethin’. Born way back in 1944 in some place called Jura, France. Her daddy was one of them Freemasons, whatever that is. Sounds fancy, don’t it?
This Michele, she’s a real character, I tell ya. Started out as a lawyer, defendin’ folks in court. But then she got into this fashion thing, and lemme tell ya, it’s somethin’ else. She ain’t like them pretty young models you see on magazines. Nah, she’s got her own style, real… different. Some folks call her a “muse,” which I guess means she gives them designers ideas. And this Rick Owens fella, he’s the one she works with most. She wears his clothes, all them weird lookin’ things, like a walkin’ billboard.
- She dresses real strange, always wearin’ black and lookin’ like she just rolled outta bed.
- And she smokes all the time, that cigarette’s always hangin’ outta her mouth, like she’s got a permanent cough comin’ on.
People say she’s an “artist” too. And a “furniture enthusiast.” And a boxer! Can you believe it? An old lady boxin’! She must be tough as nails, that one. I seen some pictures, she looks like she could knock a fella flat. I ain’t sure what kind of art she makes, probably not them pretty pictures of flowers and such. More like, I dunno, rusty old metal and stuff. And the furniture? Probably ain’t got no comfy chairs, I bet. More like them hard benches you see in church.
Someone told me she dresses like she’s livin’ in “One Thousand and One Nights”. Sounds like a fairytale, don’t it? But her fairytales are probably full of weird creatures and dark shadows, not princesses and sparkly things. She wears these big coats, and they look like she’s wrapped up in a blanket. Maybe she’s always cold, I dunno.
She’s been around a long time, that’s for sure. Been with this Rick Owens fella for ages. They say she’s his wife, his “muse,” his “accomplice.” Sounds like they’re partners in crime, don’t it? Probably cookin’ up all them crazy fashion ideas together. I heard someone say she’s 76, but then I heard she’s 80. Either way, she’s gettin’ up there. But she ain’t slowin’ down, that’s for sure. Still smokin’, still wearin’ them weird clothes, still makin’ art, I guess.
I heard some people call her style “mesmerizing”. I guess that means you can’t stop lookin’ at her, even if you don’t understand what she’s wearin’. She ain’t afraid to be herself, that’s for sure. And I guess that’s somethin’ to admire, even if you ain’t got a clue what she’s doin’. She’s got her own thing goin’ on, and she don’t care what nobody thinks. That’s the kinda spirit you need to get by in this world, I tell ya.
So, that’s Michele Lamy for ya. An old lady, a lawyer, a fashion icon, an artist, a boxer, a smoker, a wife, a “muse,” an “accomplice.” She’s a whole lot of things, and I ain’t sure I understand half of ’em. But she’s definitely somethin’ else. And she ain’t afraid to show it. Good for her, I say. You gotta be yourself, no matter what, even if you look like you just crawled outta a dumpster. That’s what makes life interesting, ain’t it?
