A Russian Fairy Tale in Paris

Last month the ever so lovely Russian model + philanthropist, Natalia Vodianova, hosted a fairy tale themed ball at designer Valentino's estate just outside Paris. The fabulous event was a benefit for Natalia's The Naked Heart Foundation which aims to provide a safe and inspiring play environment for the children of Russia.  Attendees were entertained by Bryan Ferry as they experienced the incredible fashion show of one-of-a-kind dresses by Versace and other fabulous designers. How exquisite is that mirrored runway!?



Celebs spotted at this sioree include: Tatiana Santo Domingo, Anne Hathaway, Margherita Missoni, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Louboutin, and Grace Coddington.  Check out more pictures here.


What a perfect theme for an event! Paris certainly does help to set the mood for such an occasion. :)  Take a note from Natalia and throw your own fairy tale event, perfect for Halloween or the fast approaching Holiday season. We could all use a little more magic in our lives...

A gala evening of art auction, revelry and performance - Sexy Beast celebrates the art world's power to effect positive change, touch peoples' lives, and create value far beyond commercial gain.  We wanted  to highlight that artistry comes in many forms, in this case floral art by EPI. The Gala was held at the Ace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.  The historical theatre is extremely ornate, with its' opulent gothic revival and early Art Deco influences.  Our florals needed to enhance, not compete with the interior architecture. White Callas Lilies were arranged in a dramatic and visually stunning display Phalaenopsis Orchids  along with fuchsia roses, horse tail and tall bear grass accents brightened the deco inspired Ladies' dressing room.  The pop of color bounced off the mirrors and created a cheery area in a somewhat dark space.  Orchids and roses set the cocktails tables and added to the ec...
