Meet the Collectors, Michèle Lamy

Icon, muse, performer, furniture designer, serial collaborator, Michèle Lamy has invented the concept of the multihyphen career. Immediately recognizable with her Berberinspired tattoos and inimitable style, she was once a defense lawyer in Paris, then the owner of not one but two notorious artists hangouts in Los Angeles, before turning her hand to couture. A true powerhouse not least in her role as cofounder of Owenscorp with her husband, designer Rick Owens Lamy is also a keen champion of contemporary artists, from Arthur Jafa to Barry X Ball and Mark Leckey. In this new episode of Meet the Collectors, she gives Art Basel a tour of her artfilled home, Place du Palais Bourbon, in Paris.
