Bobofeed's First Muse??

 A "Muse" is by definition "one that inspires a creative artist".

 Michelle Harper we believe,fits this title beautifully.

With her signature Birkin bag and Louboutins,she is at once creative as well as inspiring with her sense of fun and whimsy.From what we have heard other attributes include her great sense of humour and generosity.
Most of all we do not believe that she takes her self too seriously,
which makes her the ideal for Bobofeed's first muse.

Born in Columbia and New York raised,this couture wearing benefactor has been seen at all the right "boites" and bistros,usually accompanying one of her many designer "boyfriends".
She has sponsored her own galas such as one recently for Casita Maria,an organization providing assistance to Latin American children in Harlem and the Bronx.

A philanthropist,she also serves on the F.I.T Couture Counsel.
Having seen her photographed outside the shows numerous times,this appears to involve going to all the "European Couture Presentations",with perhaps a little shopping on the side.

 Ah but to be able to spend some time with Michelle while she shops at her favourites,

Y.S.L.,Dior by John Galliano and Alexander McQueen among others.

Never one to shy from color,she continues to use her unique vision of fashion with an eccentric mix of both vintage and couture.Fashion simply is her life.

"I love the GAP and all that but it's not what gets me up in the morning" 

is a particular quote that has endeared Michelle Harper to us.

Muse to Victor de Souza, and Zak Posen and recently interviewed by Jeannie for a spot on Fashion T.V,we love her sense of humour and above all, her intellect...

another quote...

"Because nothing inspiring is flawless or perfect.

It's in the failures,the experiments and the unique that I find the greatest joy".

We recently came across this great video "spoof" by the great Steven Meisel
and his version of the "Shopping Network",
where Ms.Harper and her signature,vintage,butterfly glasses feature prominently.
Also a favourite from the video is a particular fetching red hat.

This solidified her as our muse of the moment,with tongue firmly in cheek.
