Michael Donnellan (fashion designer)
Michael Donnellan (1915–1985) – best known as Michael of Carlos Place and simply Michael – was an Irish-born fashion designer who headed up the house of Lachasse from 1941, before running a successful eponymous couture house in London from 1953 to 1971. From the 1960s on, he combined the role of couturier with consultancy to mainstream fashion houses, most notably acting as a key consultant to Marks & Spencer.
His obituary of 1985 in ''The Times'' described his label as "the last great English tailoring house", saying also that Donnellan's death: "marks the end of an era".〔 ''The Guardian'' fashion editor Alison Adburgham said he was best described as the Balenciaga of London.
==Early life and career==
Michael Donnellan was born in Dublin and trained as a surgeon before making the move from medicine to fashion.〔 After wartime service, he joined the fashion house of Lachasse as chief designer – he was named head of its operation from 1941.〔 In this role at Lachasse, he was following in the footsteps of two other great London couturiers – Digby Morton and Hardy Amies. Although he was attached to a large and respected fashion house, he was already a name in his own right – Michael of Lachasse – and was included among London's "big 10" in a feature in ''Life'' in 1953 about the run up to the coronation of Elizabeth II.
He was skilled at spotting nascent fashion looks and was the first to work with the British 'supermodel' Avril James – refining her style and making her his early design 'muse'. James subsequently became one of the most familiar faces in British modelling – working for, among others, John Cavanagh – and became known in the British press as: "the girl who said no to Dior".
