I’m in love with Wes Anderson’s partner Juman Malouf
My Sudden Wild Enthusiasms aren't always about items of clothing or skincare. They can glom on to anything, from Danish TV shows to Icelandic skyr (it's like yoghurt) to placemats printed with Munch's The Scream. Very often, my SWEs focus on actual humans.
I am FOREVER falling in love with people – examples include Pasha Kovalev, Jason Schwartzman, Claudia Winkleman, Nigella Lawson and Greta Gerwig. I seem to go for more women than men and I want to be their best friend. I'd like to bring them to Eddie Rockets and ask them questions and give them my bracelets and suggest we have the chocolate malt and if they say, "I'm lactose intolerant," I'd say, "Me too!" Even though I'm not.
My very latest love is Juman Malouf. Doubtless you will ask – who? – and my response, that she's Wes Anderson's partner, isn't satisfactory. My Juman is no mere adjunct to another person. She is wildly impressive in her own right.
She's an illustrator and writer (although the book isn't available until June, so I can't comment but I've no doubt it's brilliant). She is also apparently the "muse" of the Gucci designer Alessandro Michele. Imagine that! Imagine being the woman who inspired the whimsical fantasy world that is "new Gucci".

Before digging into the deep-cuts, Victorian-era personal style of Juman Malouf—the beguiling illustrator, costume designer, and author of the just-released and already-much-praised young adult novel The Trilogy of Two—let it be said that the 40-year-old Lebanese artist is not Wes Anderson’s muse. It’s tempting to make that connection, considering the couple has been together for years now, but in all truth, she’s more Alessandro Michele’s Gucci Girl incarnate.

Photographed by Kathy Lo at The Jane HotelJust take the ensemble she wears to meet me for coffee. Tucking into her seat, Malouf is sheathed in a fuzzy brown Dries Van Noten overcoat, while the Kelly green frills of a lace-lined high-neck vintage dress peek out from under. She has slipped her cream-footed stockings, which are layered under a pair of gray trouser socks, into a pair of polished G.H. Bass & Co brown loafers, and she sets her vintage crocheted bag against the window. Her raven locks are half-pinned in a tousled updo that seems modern but nostalgic of an era long gone. It’s a deeply appealing and eccentric hodgepodge of references that recall estate sales and precious heirlooms—and begs the question: Has Michele been studying Malouf’s ladylike style from afar? But she warmly laughs
