Die Modelegende Michèle Lamy, ist dafür bekannt, sich nie an die Regeln anderer zu halten. Für die September-Ausgabe 2024 der Vogue Arabia präsentierte die lebende Legende aktuelle Couture - ganz nach ihren eigenen Vorstellungen.
Fotografiert wurde die Strecke von Tarek Mawad, die Postproduktion betreute ONE HUNDRED BERLIN.
VOGUE Arabia schreibt über das Multitalent : “Michèle Lamy has an almost mythical presence across the creative industries, with her iconographic impact on par with that of Iris Apfel, Iman, or André Leon Talley. Names like these serve as shorthand for an inimitable vision, evoking a clear and singular image of the figures to whom they belong.
Lamy – a force in fashion that cannot be categorized – is immediately recognizable by the thick black line drawn across her forehead daily, her fingers covered in rings and dye, and her gilded teeth inspired by the metal bands found in the mouths of ancient Egyptian mummies. The French-born luminary of Algerian descent was a defense lawyer before becoming a life partner and muse to Rick Owens, with whom she co-founded their design empire, Owenscorp.
As if these successes alone weren’t intimidating enough, her bewitching gaze is darkly outlined, its intensity piercing even over Zoom. But Lamy is warm and funny, sharing that she is at her daughter’s home in Fontainebleau after having been “dancing all night not so long ago.” She is intellectually and artistically curious – as open to dissecting the couture looks from her recent Vogue Arabia shoot as she is to entertaining some of my more existential questions. One of which, she says to my utter surprise, leaves her speechless: ‘Do broken people make better art?’”
