Street Style: Michelle Elie
More on the Comme des Garçons tip: Michelle Elie in Paris. She was a model, then stylist and now designer based in Germany. Elie relishes colours, clashing and standout looks (underwear as outerwear). Obviously it’s fashion week, see the craziness in the background, but still this look takes a certain amount of sartorial courage.
Someone once told me that fashion was where all the nerdy kids from high school ended up. Because it was an industry where looking and being different was celebrated. I’m not sure if I agree with this statement entirely but there is something to be said. Where else could you show up to work at 10a.m. wearing a felt dress with polka dots and hat? It’s for this reason alone that we love to watch, to document, to participate in this crazy slice of the world.
Amen to Fashion!
