You're Invited: THE FACE Magazine Issue 4 Release Event

Please join The Face Magazine & Hendrick Porsche as they introduce Issue 4 of The Face Magazine as well as the newest model of the Porsche fleet …. The 2017 Panamera.

The evening will be filled with the elegance and modern sophistication of not only the new Porsche Panamera but with a catwalk that will kick off the The Face Magazine 2017 fashion runway season that is accompanied by the latest issue of The Face Magazine.

The designer line up starts with Tygerian Lace, who will be debuting her newest RTW collection. Tygerian Lace has not only graced many red carpets locally and beyond but has recently been selected to create a piece for Charlotte Mayor, Jennifer Roberts. 

Next we have a Emuleos who is just off of the NYFW runway. She will be showcasing the very designs that graced NYFW just a few weeks ago and that gained her much press as an emerging designer to watch out for. 

As our finale for the evening you will have a chance to view the collection of Project Runway Alumni, Justin LeBlanc. His latest collection is nothing short of spectacular and leaves you only wanting more of his artistic creations. His designs have been seen all over the world from red carpets to personal collections. 

In addition to the runway guests will have the chance to experience boutiques, presentations and enjoy light fare, music from the DJ and the VIP bar.

About the Doggies on the Catwalk photo! 

We shot this at "the farm" - Canine Assistants in Milton, Ga. It was a chilly 45 degrees, but our super model Rachel Zehner didn't even shiver! Brandi Mallory did the make-up and kept Rachel looking fresh all morning long. Grace Murphy, Theo Tyson and Lindsay Klein kept "things" moving. The gorgeous dress and shoes are from Alice + Olivia. They are from their Spring/Summer collection and will be available in stores soon. I partnered once again with the talented Tomas Espinoza for the photography. He, Grace and I walked the acres of property to scope out the perfect location. Oh and what about our doggie model?! A natural, wouldn't you say!

Photo: Dylan York

On Thursday, May 5th, more than 400 guests descended upon STK Atlanta to celebrate its two-year anniversary during a private fete -Mad for STK. After diving through the rabbit hole, a spectacular transformed entranceway to the chic steakhouse and lounge, VIP guests mixed and mingled in an "Alice in Wonderland" inspired atmosphere as they enjoyed complimentary signature "Drink Me" cocktails and mouthwatering temptations created by newly appointed Executive Chef Mark Alba. DJ London Thomas set the soundtrack for the evening, while guests mixed, mingled and danced the night away. 

STK Atlanta artfully blends two concepts into one—the modern reincarnation of a steakhouse and a chic lounge. The feel is sleek, sexy and refined. As anticipated, steak is the main attraction. STK is located at 1075 Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta on the corner of Peachtree and 12th Streets. Complimentary valet parking is available on 12th Street. Visit www.stkhouse.com for more information and stay connected on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/STKATL and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/STKAtlanta.
