As an event planner it’s important for me to keep a diverse set of clients and partners so I continue to learn, grow and hone my craft. Our current client list includes companies and organizations from the industries of education, composting, law and medicine. I always have a special place in my heart for the industry I started in, which is fashion.

Early on what sparked my interest in fashion was working with Phashion Phest Philadelphia under the tutelage of Sharon Phillips Waxman, one of the most innovative event producers I know. Phashion Phest remains a staple in the Delaware Valley and I was granted the opportunity to assist in two productions of this large-scale event in its very early years. From there I worked up and down the east coast on the production side of fashion-based events, though my experience and clientele became much broader in more recent years.

This fall we took on a new client, BE.Anthony, an online luxury handbag retailer who has an outstanding penchant for featuring some of the most gorgeous, unique designer pieces we’ve seen. The handbags are truly works of art. We worked with BE.Anthony to create a visual marketing campaign that featured a selection of handbags from their product line.

The exemplary creative team we assembled — which included stylist Pascale Lemaire via T.H.E. Artist Agency, makeup artist Dawn Newsome and hairstylist, Jeremiah of Alchemy and photographer Aycee Brown — executed a campaign that highlights this distinctive product line. Check out some featured photos from the shoot, below.

Kalorama Cookie Company Tablescape

Kalorama Cookie Company Tablescape at District Sample Sale

Last week we had the pleasure of collaborating with Kalorama Cookie Company on their table design for one of D.C.’s favorite fashion events, District Sample Sale. Kalorama Cookie Company is a custom design cookie company based in Washington, D.C.

Wedding Cake Cookies

With owner, Patti Greenstein, at the helm the company is set to make a major mark on D.C.’s “sweets” market. With custom, themed creations as the standard, the company brings to vibrant life nearly any design you request.

Cupcake Sprinkle Cookies

Fruit Cookies

Their magnificent cookies were one of the go to spots at the affair. You were bound to see a number of fashionistas enjoying a sweet, including part of District Sample Sale’s Haute Committee and owner of T.H.E. Artist Agency, Linda Erkiletian. You’d be doing yourself a grand disservice not to place an order immediately. Enjoy a few more shots below!
