A member of the influential Shaw family, Claudia is head of style advisory for Chanel in the Asia-Pacific region. She has worked for the company for a quarter of a century, in a wide-ranging role that has taken in everything from visual merchandising to buying to styling to hosting in-store events.

Beyond her official position, though, she is widely admired for her effortless, understated sense of style, with a wardrobe prominently featuring pieces by her employer; in 2015, Tatler Hong Kong declared her Most Stylish Woman of 2015.

She is also a talented cook and the co-author of two cookbooks, Delicious and Too Delicious, with proceeds from them going to a range of good causes, including educational charity Room to Read. The grand-niece of legendary entertainment mogul Run Run Shaw, she is a mother of three, including Anna d’Auriol.
