On this week’s episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by fashion designer B Michael and television writer/producer and bestselling author Susan Fales Hill to talk about B Michael’s glorious photographic memoir,
MUSE: Cicely Tyson and Me: A Relationship Forged in Fashion.
B Michael’s collections have garnered appreciation from legends—Cicely Tyson, Valerie Simpson, Beyonce, Nancy Wilson, Brandy, and Susan Fales-Hill among many others. MUSE pays homage to the lifelong friendship between the iconic, resplendent Cicely Tyson and B Michael, who worked with her to make her gorgeous through her last bow.
The memoir includes written contributions from Lenny Kravitz, Bridget Foley, Valerie Simpson and a foreword from Susan Fales Hill—you will love hearing from Susan in this episode. Infused with stunning photographs, many never before seen, B Michael recalls the bond he shared with Cicely Tyson and what it was like to dress the Queen of Hollywood for all the extraordinary events of her life.
