Society Belle works closely with multiple designers to spawn beautiful couture…

The below collection of quotes shows how Harlech’s work shapped the way we think of the muse.

“Part of her value to Karl Lagerfeld is as an intellectual sparring partner, who can as easily differentiate between Bal de Rose dix-neuvième siècle pink and Pop Art pink as summon deep resources of literary and cultural reference” (“Amanda Harlech”, Style.com).



“The stylist [as a career] emerged in the early 80s, with Amanda Harlech working with John Galliano. The stylist is very powerful, taking charge of a feature or photo shoot and organising the look – location, hair, models, photographer, makeup. They are responsible for the images of a collection presented in magazines. Their work is, in some cases, more important than the clothes.” – from IdeasFactory: Sytlist

“Lady Amanda Harlech was John Galliano’s unpaid muse 12 years until he went to Dior. (Her job there, according to Suzy Menkes of the New York Times, sometimes involved changing clothes “four, five, sometimes six times a day” or announcing, “I like red.”)” – From Money for nothing and your clothes for free

“We work on six collections a year for Chanel – four ready to wear and two haute couture and I am in Paris for 10 days to two weeks before each show in January, March, May, July, September, October and December – and if the show is replayed abroad, as in March when the January haute couture was shown in Hong Kong, we make another trip.” – Amanda Harlech, Worlds Apart
