On Thursday September 22 Fashion Consciousness Magazine held their one year anniversary party at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills. The magazine was celebrating the release of their upcoming green issue and the editor and founder Valeria von Leczycki Goncharova Barrett made a statement with her emerald green ensemble.
She has been working in the fashion industry for over 30 years as a celebrity stylist. She started Fashion Consciousness last year as a magazine that would bring fashion and social issues together. Each issue is centered around a color and theme because Valeria believes that colors have the power to influence our mood and she focuses on the colors that surround us. The upcoming green issue is all about intuition. Valeria also chooses influencers and professionals to feature in each issue that she feels represent the theme. Many of those who had been featured in past issues attended the event and were welcomed on the red carpet. The event was held at the Windows lounge in the four seasons and guests gathered around the red carpet set in front of the entrance before heading inside to the lounge decorated with glossy prints of past issues. Many guests wanted to take pictures in front of this colorful display of green giftbags which were presented to a few highlighted speakers at the end of the night.
Valeria spoke to the crowd thanking them for their support and talked about her vision for the magazine. She hopes to see the magazine continue to grow and hopes to expand our understanding of fashion and lifestyle. Next one of the editors spoke about working with Valeria and the women they had featured in the magazine as well as the success the magazine has had so far. They then invited one of these women to speak and thanked her for her support with a giftbag. Known as the "Queen of Joy" Denise O'Brien of Wings of Love international spoke about her charity work to help families affected by domestic violence as well as her love of fashion.
She took the stage in a brightly colored green sparkly gown in honor of the upcoming issue. She was so excited to have worked with Valeria and the magazine and recommended that everyone read the next issue because Valeria had such positive messages to share.
Next we heard from Tara a guest Valeria had chosen to feature inthe magazine for her work with Beyond the label an eco friendly clothing line. Keeping with the theme of the night she wore a sap green dress made out of recycled trees and spoke to the crowd about the important role that fashion can play in conservation.
Finally we heard from Trish Concannon who works with the magazine as a fashion advisor. She was featured in the gold issue for her work with Fashion Business Inc the non profit based in downtown Los Angeles that helps start up fashion designers.
All in all the party was a success and I had a great time seeing Valeria and am looking forward to the upcoming green issue!
