In
Los Angeles, March 2008 was fashion delight. New lines to view; buyers and editorial decisions on overload; the Fall 2008 Collections finally came to LA and then Socialite,
Paris Hilton, (L) suprised us all by attending the runway show of her sister,
Nicky Hilton, during
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at
Smashbox Studios, Tuesday, March 11 at 8:00pm.
Unfortunately, for some of us,
Paris Hilton did not stop on the "arrival area" at the event, nor did she stop for any photographers in
The Lounge inside
The Tent. Surrounded by about 7 people in her entourage, Hilton was whisked right thru to her final destination, backstage to
Nicholai. I was one of those photographers that only got a few images of her in passing. However, LA Photographer,
Glenn Francis,
Pacific Pro Digital, made good on been at the right place in the right time. Francis landed numerous images of this timely event as
Paris Hilton came out in support of her sister. Also, at the collection were the parents to the Hilton sisters,
Kathy and
Rick Hilton.

Photographer, Glenn Francis, Pacific Pro Digital, in my opinion knows how to capture sensuality in a woman thru his lens. On December 31st, 2008, Francis captured the “Black and White Masquerade Ball” at Skybar, Mondrian, 8440 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, while a captivating audience viewed the delightful fashions from Bebe at the event. Ruffles, satin, sheer and luxury were in abundance, not to mention the Pussy Cat Dolls Lipstick Vintage Striped Balconet Bra seen top left on Larysa Poznyak.
