Pink Fashionista…. Working together to give back!

Posted on November 21, 2010 in Lighting | No Comments

About a month ago we received a call from Tawny at Stewarts School here in Sioux Falls about an exciting opportunity to collaborate for an amazing cause.  After a 10 minute converstion about the event we agreed to assist in the audio production and lighting for the facility.

Pink Fashionista is a benefit to raise funds for Avera Cancer Institute’s breast health services and programs. The latest fashions for 2011 from six different local retailers were featured, along with the latest trends in hair and make-up. Guests were entertained with a great fashion show, wonderful food and spirits, all while helping a great cause!

We were please to work with fellow professionals Steve from Focused Motion (http://www.focusedmotion.com),  Katie Overvaag from Bella Luce Foto  (www.bellalucefoto.com, and our MC Patrick Griesgraber.  Rosemary from http://www.professionalimagebyrosemary.com/ produced the Fashion Show with Fashions from Hip Chic, The Great Outdoors, Posh Boutique, Amavo, Chavilla Bay!

The attendees were treated to amazing food and drink courtesy of Chef Dominique’s Catering (http://www.chefdomscatering.com/)  and Josh and the crew from Woody’s Pub in Sioux Falls (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=168417288352).

Our lighting designers utilized 40 up -lighting fixtures to wash the pillars, entrances, and under the runway with an awesome shade of pink that “glowed” with the white skirting.  We also provided audio support, microphones, and some great dance music for the models as well as those in attendance.

The event was a great success and raised money for a great cause!  It will be an annual event, and we are excited to work with everyone again next year!  Thanks again to Stewarts for the instrumental role in making this happen!  Pictures coming soon!

Recently we were approached by the team at Augustana college to assist in a transformation of a multi purpose room for a group of VIP’s and the keynote speaker, Madeleine Albright.  The challenge…  To add drama and elegance to compliment the color scheme of violet, white, & complimentary colors.

We utilized 20 intelligent led up lights setup symmetrically around the room with a beautiful violet wash & 8 LED pinspots suspended from the ceiling illuminating beautiful floral centerpieces from our friends at the Flower Mill http://flower-mill.com/ Stacy and the staff did a phenomenal job and were awesome to work with.

The result?  A once awkward room devoid of personality was transformed into an elegant site for a delicious meal fit for the first female Secretary of State (1997).  It was one of the highlights of our fall.
