Chanel Hosts a Luncheon to Celebrate Female Filmmakers
On September 17, in collaboration with Tribeca’s Jane Rosenthal, Chanel hosted the ninth annual “Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program” luncheon at Locanda Verde in New York City.
With stars like Olivia Wilde, Whitney Peak, Phoebe Tonkin, Havana Rose Liu, Beanie Feldstein, Chloe Fineman, and more present, the afternoon united women from the entertainment industry in an effort to celebrate filmmaking, while also highlighting 10 emerging female filmmakers who were selected for the coinciding mentorship program.
“You can’t take this room for granted,” Rosenthal said at the event. “Look around at who’s sitting next to you. It’s the way we support each other that really is the uniqueness of the Through Her Lens program.”
The luncheon kicked off a three-day workshop hosted by Tribeca and Chanel for the ten selected rising filmmakers, who receive one-on-one mentorship and sessions centered around producing, directing, costume design, and more as part of their selection.

Apple Highlights iPhone Photography with Three Exhibits Across the Globe
The iPhone has been determined to be the most-commonly-used photography device in the world, and on Thursday, September 19, Apple hosted exhibitions in New York City, London, and Shanghai that showed just how much the camera on the new iPhone 16 Pro Max can capture.
Ahead of the phone’s release, three artists—Ryan McGinley, Prince Gyasi and Chen Man—were given the device early, to capture images and videos in their own distinctive styles. The results were then put on display in a show called “Chasing the Light,” an exhibit that was curated by Kathy Ryan (who previously worked for The New York Times Magazine).
A statement for the event read: “These bodies of work are true inspirations — and with messages of representation, empowerment, with nods to history—[the collection] also underscores the importance of people having an opportunity to capture their own stories, and iPhone camera enables all of us to do that.”
Louis Vuitton Releases Fine Jewelry Collection That Winks to the Brand’s History
Louis Vuitton’s iconic Damier canvas pattern was invented by Georges Vuitton in 1888 and reintroduced as the Damier Ebène a century later. Since then, the pattern has been reimagined in many different ways, but it’s getting perhaps its most exciting interpretation yet, with the new Le Damier de Louis Vuitton Fine Jewelry Collection.
The brand-new line of bracelets, rings, a necklace, and earrings features yellow and white-gold pieces that are embellished with alternating gold squares and sparkly diamonds to emulate the checkerboard-style Damier design.
“It is a diamond collection that is not just about the stones but the pattern that they create,” said Francesca Amfitheatrof, the Artistic Director for Watches and Jewelry at Vuitton. Pieces from the collection can be purchased on the official Louis Vuitton site or at their brick-and-mortar stores.
Zo? Ghertner and Thomas de Kluyver Launch Photography Book with an Eye for Art
Photographer Zo? Ghertner and makeup artist Thomas de Kluyver have teamed up for a new art book, titled already past and already again there, which will have a limited print of 500 copies.
Designed by the Jonny Lu Studio and comprising photos from a period of three years, the unbound book celebrates each artist’s style all the way down to the pages, which will feature a mixture of coated and uncoated paper stock to put an added emphasis on texture.
A statement release for the photography book reads: “Presenting a free-flowing series of images that counterpoint the human body with both the natural and ‘hyper-natural’ worlds, the book oscillates between figuration and abstraction. It has an authentic, deeply felt quality which springs from the process with which the images were made – an unbridled creative exchange between Ghertner, de Kluyver, and their subjects.”
There will be a book launch and signing event at the Librairie Yvon Lambert in Paris on September 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. You can preorder a copy of the book here.
