Michele Lamy and Rick Owens are great
influences on my work. Both eccentric creative conceptuals and designers who represent living life with the lid off, keeping striving for change and improvement. Their eccentricity and excellence in the quality of their work and how they collaborate with a variety of artists, make them favourites amongst the fashion, arts and music industries alike
Michele has lead a virtuosic life of exploration "that has included successful careers as a defense attorney, clothing designer, performer, film producer, and restaurateur. Over the last ten years, Lamy's life has also included her work as creative collaborator with her husband, fashion rock star Rick Owens."
"She's Algerian, a gypsy; she was born in a resistance camp in occupied France, was raised by wolves in the Ardennes; she's an arms dealer, a vampire, a witch, and she's 1600 years old (the number is consistent, as if it were exact, vetted by a team of experts). The truth is she's Parisian and used to perform in a cabaret. She met Owens through his then-boyfriend and hired him as a patternmaker for her own line, Lamy."
Her gypsy and witchy like personality are things I observed whilst producing my piece"Spellbound" the dark and gothic style with fresh tailoring and Arabian bling twists, that her and her husband champion are elements I looked at whilst deciding on timbre and velocity in my work. Like their famous layering of gauzy fabrics with very different textures including leathers, I wanted to emulate this by layering dark and sensual sounds upon the the ghostly melody that ran echoing through the whole piece.
