Okay, so I was digging around the internet, trying to find some old-school photos of Michèle Lamy, you know, before all the Rick Owens fame. It’s a real rabbit hole, let me tell you. I wanted to see what she looked like back in the day, so I started up my computer.

First, I opened my browser and started searching for any info I could find. “Michèle Lamy younger” I typed, and boom, a bunch of stuff popped up. But it was mostly newer photos, or just vague mentions of her past. So, I spent hours browsing, clicking through pages, and trying different search terms. “Michèle Lamy early life,” “Michèle Lamy 1970s,” “Michèle Lamy photos before Rick Owens” and stuff like that.
I scrolled through tons of images, most of them were not what I wanted. I did find some interesting articles about her life, though. Like, did you know she was a defense lawyer and a cabaret performer? Pretty cool, right?
After a while, I found a few forums and old blog posts where people were discussing her early days. There were some blurry photos, nothing clear though. Some people were saying they had seen photos of her from the 70s and 80s, but they couldn’t find them anymore.
I tried using some of those image search tools, you know, the ones where you upload a photo and it finds similar ones? Yeah, that didn’t really work either. I uploaded a couple of the blurry ones I found, but it just gave me more recent photos of her. Bummer.
I even went deep into some digital archives. You know, those websites where they store old web pages? Yeah, I spent hours on those. Found some old personal websites and blogs from the early 2000s. No luck there, just a few broken links and missing images.

- Searched for “Michèle Lamy younger” and variations.
- Scrolled through tons of images.
- Found some articles about her early life.
- Checked out forums and old blog posts.
- Used image search tools with no success.
- Dug through digital archives and old websites.
Finally, I stumbled upon this one really old forum post. Someone was asking about Michèle Lamy’s early photos, and another user replied with a description of a photo they had seen. They said it was a black and white photo, taken in the 70s, and she was wearing a really cool outfit. They didn’t have the photo, though.
So, yeah, I didn’t really find what I was looking for. But it was a fun little adventure. I learned a lot about Michèle Lamy’s past, and it made me appreciate her even more. She’s had such a fascinating life!
I guess some things are just meant to stay hidden in the past. Or maybe I just need to keep digging. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll find that photo. Until then, I’ll just keep imagining young Michèle Lamy in her 70s glory.
My Takeaway
Even though I didn’t find the photos, I realized that Michèle Lamy’s mystique is part of her charm. It’s cool that she has this whole history that’s not fully documented. It makes her even more interesting, in my opinion.
