BACALL MICHAELS

Raised in Los Angeles and New York City, BACALL was dually influenced by the entrepreneurial spirit that fuels these two creative cities. In 2009, she gained popularity as a fashion blogger and quickly found herself at the epicenter, sitting front row at New York’s Fashion Week. Now living in London, she attends Central Saint Martins where she is perfecting her online concepts through the masterful mentorship of the school’s prestigious pundits. With the caliber of this strategic incubation, Bacall is hoping to create an internationally influential publication that resonates on a global platform.
