Michelle Harper

How do you like your fashion icons? Avant-garde you say. Good answer, you should read on. Michelle Violy Harper has been favourably compared to Daphne Guinness (who we love) so we decided to check her fashionista prowess out.
Michelle has an exotic background of Columbia near Cartagena and New York. Her love of couture is obvious. She's a big fan of Alexander McQueen and YSL.
Michelle takes risks but does not go OTT just to get photographed and media attention.
She has trained as a chef, worked in an art gallery and has a deep interest in architecture.
Her Grandma was the first of many fashion influences.


YOU MUST WATCH THIS VOGUE ITALIA VIDEO. INSPIRING!

She can defo strike a pose.

She told Look magazine 'Be true to yourself. Never try to impersonate someone else'.
'Fashion should make you feel strong, happy and good'.

She's a movie star, an extremely versatile TV actress, a fashion phenom and a major influential blogger. She's Ashley Madekwe!

Rihanna at Coco Chanel's Appartment

It must be the fashion equivalent of a trip to Graceland to see how Elvis lived when you go to Coco Chanel's flat in Paris. Riri made herself right at home.
H to T Chanel in the glorious sunshine.
This was the staircase where Coco would sit at the top peering down on her collections being paraded.
This is fashion darrrrllliinnggg!
The 'Mother of Pearls'
With Chanel designer Laetitia Crahay. The folders behind contain rare Heat magazines and Spiderman comics (not really)
Rihanna, Chanel
You half expect her to pull a tennis ball out from there. Ace!
Afterwards Riri swapped Chanel for cool ripped denim. You feeling the anklet?
With friend Melissa. Fun times.
What an Eiffel?!
Meanwhile on stage that Givenchy costume is holding up well.

 Purring in Azzedine Alaia for her meeting with the designer that evening.

Rihanna, Chanel
Did she get a little hair inspiration from our Rita? Hot dress Rita!
This was quite a while ago! Notice how Chris's face has hardened since then. Anger, stress and lots of swearing will do that.

Finally
What beautiful eyes.
