I recently photographed a really interesting event at the Seattle Art Museum for Team Photogenic. It was a beautiful reception and then conversation with Maureen Chiquet, Global CEO of Chanel. Mimi Gates, the former director of the Seattle Art Museum, invited her to come in honor of the SAM exhibit on Japanese fashion currently showing (and because they are friends!) Maureen talked about leading a global high fashion brand, and also showed some new short films Chanel has just created to celebrate their upcoming anniversary. She is an amazingly accomplished woman, here is some more info. on her: http://www.vivendi.com/vivendi-en/governance/supervisory-board/maureen-chiquet-2/. She spoke with Chiyo Ishikawa, the SAM curator - more on her - (also very accomplished!): http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/pressRoom/prRelease.asp?prID=114
An interesting crowd, and fun evening! Here are some images:
