Raphael returns
One of Vancouver’s biggest fashion industry exports is coming home for a visit. Join Luvngrace Entertainment, along with Leone and Madame Moje April 1, in welcoming photographer Raphael Mazzucco back to our runways as they celebrate and support Beauty Night Society, a cause dedicated to changing the lives of women and youth living in poverty through skills development and makeovers.
Mazzucco, who has worked with top fashion houses such as Victoria’s Secret, Sports Illustrated, Guess Jeans and Ralph Lauren, will be joined by fashion and beauty superstars at Five Sixty on 560 Seymour, from 6:30pm to midnight. Hosted by Ronnie Seterdahl Negus, from Real Housewives of Vancouver and Jim Michaels, executive producer of the TV series Supernatural, the night will be a luxury-lover’s dream.
