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.
