<p>Icon, muse, performer, furniture designer, serial collaborator, Michèle Lamy has invented the concept of the multi-hyphen career. Immediately recognizable with her intricate tattoos and&nbsp;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 co-founder of Owenscorp with her husband, designer Rick Owens – Lamy is also a keen champion of contemporary artists, from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/28259/Arthur-Jafa" target="_blank">Arthur Jafa</a> to<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/10806/Barry-X-Ball" target="_blank"> Barry X Ball&nbsp;</a>and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/7471/Mark-Leckey" target="_blank">Mark Leckey</a>. In this new episode of Meet the Collectors, she gives Art Basel a tour of her art-filled home, Place du Palais Bourbon, in Paris.&nbsp;</p>
