For former model and jewelry designer Michelle Elie, fashion is art and art is fashion. It’s obvious in the fearless way she dresses and her admiration for designers like Comme des Garçons, Delpozo, Viktor & Rolf, Balenciaga, Haider Ackermann, and Rodarte. It’s impossible not to adore and admire her for her refreshing take on fashion – especially when it can sometimes feel so safe and commercialized. As she so profoundly says in her ever inspiring Style Like U interview: “If you’re for everybody, you’re for nobody.”
