Michèle Lamy
She’s not your average “fashion person.” She’s kind of like this eccentric, gothic fairy godmother who has lived nine different lives and somehow made them all legendary
he was born in France in 1944. At first, she was totally normal — she studied law and even became a defense lawyer. But she got bored and ditched the courtroom for cabaret shows in Paris. Like, imagine your lawyer one day quitting to dance in smoky clubs. That’s her vibe.
Then she moved to Los Angeles in the ’90s and opened a restaurant called Les Deux Cafés. It wasn’t just a restaurant — it turned into the celebrity hangout. We’re talking Madonna, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, all chilling there. She once said: “I never intended to be a restaurateur. I just wanted a place where my friends could come, eat, and be fabulous.”
