BOXeight's "Fashion: Refocus" Fall/Winter 2010 opening-night event was held on Friday March 19th. The event presented an intimate behind the scenes look at fashion photo shoot. Attendees had the opportunity to view the shoot from start to finish – from watching the make-up artist (Dior) and hairstylists (Unite) in action, to the models being dressed by designers, to the final photo shoot where the photographer instructed the model on bringing his/her vision to life. Each designer had their own specific backdrop complete with props and lighting. The photographers shot the looks for the designers’ fall lookbooks and for a spread in LA Confidential magazine.

BoxEight Lookbook Events
BoxEight put a creative spin on Fashion Week by hosting several fashion installations that fused art, fashion, and photography while providing an insider's view of the creative process. Seven designers were chosen to create their own art installations in which their collection would be viewed in a unique artistic setting. The results were photographed and will be featured in the November issue of Flaunt.
The 3 day event kicked off with an awesome party hosted by Flaunt in celebration of the launch of their Eden issue featuring David LaChapelle’s work, which included a four page cover spread with Naomi Campbell. The fashionistas were decked out in their finest, the vodka was flowing, and the beats were fab. We were thrilled to run into Krys & Jack (Krys-N-Jack). These gals are true supporters of their fellow artists, and they are super cool as well. Krys looked super cute in a vintage flapper outfit, and Jack looked as cool as ever sporting one of their first tie designs. They make a great team both in and out of the showroom. We love them.
The other two nights focused on the actual installations themselves in which the designers worked with a crew to bring their 2010 lookbooks to life. Those in attendance got to view the process from start to finish from hair & make-up to lighting to the final shoots themselves. Featured designers included Project Runway alums Rami Kashou (shot by Garrett Suhrie), Jeffrey Sebelia (shot by Kurt Izwarienko) and Jerell Scott (shot by Peter Gurnz). Louis Verdad (shot by Don Flood), Corpus (shot by Patrick Hoelck), Skingraft (shot by Gitte Meldgaard), Michael Costello (shot by David C. Lee) and a few others also showcased their work.

Reviving L.A.’s Fashion Scene
I was quite bummed when I found out that Fashion’s Night Out (organized by Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour) wasn’t a big deal in L.A. as it was in New York. WTF! Hello! This is Los Angeles - the town where the film industry and celebrities dictate a majority of the trends in fashion. Seriously, do you see models on the covers of magazines anymore? Why the hell does L.A. lag when it comes to fashion?
