It’s hard to top Ghislaine Maxwell in the globe-trotting department, as dinner guests discovered the other night at Angela Chen’s Park Avenue aerie.
After interior decorator Geoffrey Bradfield told of a scary car crash in Pakistan, and art collector Stephanie Zuellig discussed the happy cows on her farm in Switzerland, Maxwell — the daughter of British press baron Robert Maxwell — said she had just returned from Alaska’s Iditarod dog sled race.
Maxwell traveled across hundreds of miles of icy wilderness to the finish line in Nome, where thousands of fans of “the last great race” cheered on the mushers and their dogs.
Chen, the glamorous president of the China Arts Foundation, served Shanghai cuisine prepared by the chef who cooked for Madame Chiang Kai-shek, once the First Lady of the Republic of China.
