Yana Peel, head of Arts & Culture at Chanel, and Ruthie Rogers co-hosted a dinner celebrating the Venice Biennale’s 18th International Architecture Exhibition.

They were magical days with Vashti Armit, Sian Wyn Owen, Zad Rogers and Lucy Musgrave—Risotto Primavera at Trattoria da Ivo, Torta di Meringa at Harry’s Bar, Fritto Misto of langoustines and zucchini on the terrace of The Monaco Hotel and Strawberry Bellinis everywhere.

At the Chanel dinner, there was an opening conversation with Ruthie and Aric Chen, the radical innovative Director of the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam.

Inspiring architects and designers, enlightening conversations and most of all, a stimulating and exceptional Biennale.

Thank you Chanel, thank you Yana.

Thank you Venice.
