MUSE: Cicely Tyson and Me, A Relationship Forged in Fashion

In 2005, fashion designer B Michael received a phone call asking if he would be willing to dress Cicely Tyson for a high-octane weekend hosted by Oprah Winfrey. He said yes, and that first interaction led to decades of hand-holding friendship. Together they journeyed to the Academy Awards, the Emmy Awards, White House functions, and through the tenderest moments of Tyson’s final days. Join B Michael, author of MUSE: Cicely Tyson and Me, A Relationship Forged in Fashion in conversation with Bridget Foley for a in-depth look at his design collaboration with one of the world’s most iconic actresses. B Michael launched his first couture collection in 1999. He is the recipient of the Design Visionary Award by the Lighthouse Guild and has been honored by the National Congress of Black Women. Bridget Foley was executive editor of Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), a position she held for over a decade. Books will be available for purchase. B Michael and Cicely Tyson Style is highly encouraged!
