Before she married Rick Owens and became a formidable cult figure within the fashion industry, Michèle Lamy was a restaurateur, running insider hot spot Les Deux Café in LA. As a teenager, she attended law school and played a key role in the 1968 student riots in France, before abandoning her profession as a criminal lawyer to work as a cabaret singer and striptease, leading her to California. It wasn’t until her forties that she met Owens, through photographer Rick Castro. We would like to take a cinematic glance at Lamy’s early years – glamour, seduction, hard work and riveting style, against a backdrop of Los Angeles and Paris.
