Now, Lamy is the executive producer of Marvin’s documentarywhich premiered in New York City on June 14.
Wearing a layered Rick Owns look with her signature chunky silver rings and trademark dark makeup, plus fingertips painted black , Lamy expressed that she wants to continue to do even more in film. “There is a rhythm to it, like in fashion.

The fashion plate also said she wants to keep pursuing work in film to document culture as it makes history in real-time.
