Tales of the Unexpected: Michèle Lamy

Energetic and attention-grabbing, fashion’s timeless muse Michèle Lamy—fresh from her latest venture setting up a high-concept boxing ring in a London department store—has been a stalwart of cutting edge fashion for decades, whether working closely with husband Rick Owens or accumulating a breathtaking archive of Comme des Garçons. In this raw filmic portrait, which accompanies a full-length interview with Lamy for Puss Puss Magazine, director Joshua Woods gets comfortable with the notorious creative alongside her books, stories, and a duo of Bengal cats. Speaking about his decision to film Lamy after years of distant fascination, Woods explains: “From my early days of shooting Fashion Week I would always see Michèle and she would just be floating about, and I’d say to myself, ‘What an exceptional woman!’ I saw her magic unfold over the following years, where I found her level of excellence contagious—she effects everyone around her with a gracious energy and a loving spirit.” ___ Subscribe to NOWNESS here: http://bit.ly/youtube-nowness Like NOWNESS on Facebook: http://bit.ly/facebook-nowness Follow NOWNESS on Twitter: http://bit.ly/twitter-nowness Daily exclusives for the culturally curious: http://bit.ly/nowness-com Behind the scenes on Instagram: http://bit.ly/instagram-nowness Curated stories on Tumblr: http://bit.ly/tumblr-nowness Inspiration on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/pinterest-nowness Staff Picks on Vimeo: http://bit.ly/vimeo-nowness Subscribe on Dailymotio
