Model, muse and bona fide member of the art world’s glitterati, Tina Chow has made endless contributions to the international fashion community. Tina, born Bettina Louise Lutz, moved from Cleveland, Ohio to Japan in 1966, where she launched herself into the fashion world by modelling for Shideido and in Issey Miyake’s first runway presentation.
After meeting and marrying renowned restaurateur Michael Chow, of the Mr. Chow fame, Tina moved to London and then New York, catapulting herself into the hip and emerging art scene that included Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
