Selma Blair’s Metro Detroit Roots: Featured in Birmingham City Lifestyle
In a recent feature, Birmingham City Lifestyle takes readers inside Blair's childhood and connection to Benny’s Eyewear, from growing up in Southfield to hanging out in areas like Birmingham and Royal Oak. The feature also explores Blair's personal life today, including her relationship with her son, Arthur, and the Michigan connection that ultimately brought her to Benny's Eyewear.
Growing Up in Metro Detroit
Blair reflects on growing up in Southfield and the memories that continue to connect her to Michigan, from climbing pine trees in Pierce Park and visiting the Franklin Cider Mill to spending time in Birmingham and exploring the surrounding communities.
Her appreciation for fashion also began close to home. Local fashion figures including Linda Dresner and Mark Keller helped shape Blair’s early understanding of personal style, while her years at Hillel Day School, Kingswood-Cranbrook Schools and the University of Michigan further rooted her in the area.
Today, Michigan remains an important part of Blair’s life. She continues to return to the area to spend time with family and share some of the places and experiences she grew up with with her son.
A Michigan Connection
Blair’s connection to Michigan also carries into her relationship with Benny’s Eyewear. Her collaboration with the brand brings together her appreciation for personal style, family and the state she continues to call home.
The resulting Selma Blair X Benny’s collection features styles inspired by meaningful people and personal details from Blair’s life, making the collaboration a particularly personal expression of her story.
