Dior Beauty in Highland Park Village Celebrates First Anniversary with Red Carpet Reception

The Dior Beauty Highland Park team on
the red carpet at their first anniversary event.

Friday, December 9th saw Dior Beauty at Highland Park Village celebrate their first anniversary... and Dallas Light and Sound was there to assist with the festivities.  As the sun set on a crisp December evening, we rolled out the red carpet for patrons who entered to find champagne and other beverages including hot cocoa, all served from behind one of our lighted bars. Spandex covered highboys from DLS topped with mirrors helped showcase signature florals and Christian Dior branding icons that were strategically placed throughout the event.

A Dallas Light and Sound black and white tent sheltered guests from the chill while they enjoyed custom Dior cookies and other nibbles. The tent coupled with heavyweight velour pipe and drape from DLS created a couryard in front of the store for a guest DJ who spun contemporary dance music all night to an appreciative crowd. Stylish outdoor heaters in the courtyard warmed party goers who posed on the red carpet and in front of a Christian Dior step and repeat.

This jewelbox destination for the Dior cosmetics brand is smaller than some master closets in Highland Park ... yet provides a sumptuous shopping experience for perfumes, cosmetics, skin creams and more. To reinforce in-store branding, Dallas Light and Sound installed three flatscreens elevated to above eye level with spandex covered trussing. Flatscreens placed at the DLS red carpet entrance, under the tent and in the courtyard played gorgeous Dior promotional videos continuously throughout the event.

A special thank you to D'Onna Winn and to Christian Iles who chose Dallas Light and Sound to provide production resources for this Christian Dior luxury experience.

Little Black Dress 2016 at Park Place Volvo Benefits Legal Hospice of Texas - 2017 Edition Approaching

Francisco Flores created the winning look at
Little Black Dress 2016 at Park Place Volvo

Legal Hospice of Texas produces two major fashion events each year. One of these is Little Black Dress which is held early in the year, often in January. Showcased designers at Little Black Dress choose their most fashionable look and compete for the crowd chosen honor of being recognized as having designed the best look of the night. Most if not all of the LBD designers go on to show capsule collections at Legal Hospice’s second major fashion production - Fashion CITED – a runway extravaganza held later in the year. 

With the 2017 edition of Little Black Dress less than a month away, Dallas Light and Sound is looking back at the 2016 Legal Hospice fashion soiree held at Park Place Volvo. Fashion calendars across North Texas were marked weeks in advance for Little Black Dress 2016 held at Park Place Volvo on January 15th,. Attendees helped Legal Hospice "Spy" the best Little Black Dress in North Texas when designers for the Legal Hospice of Texas 10th annual Fashion CITED show brought their best work to show one look for one night as a preview to the main event. More than 300 patrons turned out to cast their votes to select a dress by Franciso Flores as the top design. Flores is one of the founders of Fashion CITED and continues to serve as the production manager and lead organizer. 

Unlike many fashion shows, guests at Little Black Dress are able to get up close and personal with each designer creation to appreciate the skills of the participating designers and to meet the designers who attend the event. 

Joining co-producers Flores and Cathy Garcia, local fashionistas Leah Frazier and Vanessa Lua attended Little Black Dress 2016 and were recognized as the Co-Chair s of Fashion CITED. DJ Tony Dean manned the decks to spin mysterious spy tunes and helped emcee the event. More than 300 patrons packed Park Place Volvo to sip cocktails, taste lite bites, socialize, and cast their votes. Dallas light and Sound provided flatscreens for sponsor recognition and event branding, a sound system for public address and music playback, cocktail bars for beverage service, a red carpet walkup, and pipe and drape to define the space. DLS also supplied elevated runways and modelling stations so that guests could see the fashions showcased by the designers. 

The 2017 edition of Little Black Dress is slated for Friday, January 12th at the beautiful showroom of Goodson Acura. A $25 donation at the door equips attendees with four votes to cast for their favorite Little Black Dress. Guests will enjoy one of the most engaging and fun fashion presentations in North Texas plus complimentary food, drinks, music and fun! We'll hope to see you there! DJ Tony Dean will be back this year to spin some “Rhythm and Hues” for the evening. A unique X shaped runway from Dallas Light and Sound will anchor the showroom, providing 360 degree surround viewing of all designer entrees in the contest. The event serves as a preview of Fashion CITED 2017, scheduled later in 2017 at Frontiers of Flight Museum, and benefits Legal Hospice of Texas. 

More than 300 patrons turned out in support of
Little Black 2016 benefiting Legal Hospice of Texas

The Hunter Sullivan combo entertains patrons at AIN Presentes "The Sands - A Retro Nightclub Experience"

A night of nostalgia and celebration awaited patrons who attended The Sands – A Retro Nightclub Experience on Saturday, November 5th. Benefiting Aids Interfaith Network, the evening also served the purpose of raising funds for an organization that has been making a difference in the lives of thousands of people and brought to a close their 30th anniversary year leaving supporters, management and staff in high spirits.

Event organizers couldn’t have chosen a better venue with their selection of 2616 Commerce Events Center as the host site. Raw brick walls, high backed banquettes and a Deep Ellum address helped reinforce a 1960s vibe that was made all the more special by a fashion show presented by Vintage Martini. Vocalist Hunter Sullivan crooned mad men tunes for a late night 9 pm - Midnight event that also featured serious libations with an open bar.

The crowd came dressed to kill with many arriving in Mad Men inspired fashions and with happy bouffants soaring to the skies, fabulous eyewear and hats, gloves and shoes that would make Jackie Onassis proud. Impeccably dressed gentlemen and elegantly clad ladies helped make the swinging vibe of the event truly swing, with specialty cocktails from event sponsor Amadora Tequila and an open bar fueling the evening. Attendees received swag bags, noshed on an impressive spread of delicious appetizers from Timm Chamberlain and enjoyed a night of dancing and sparkling conversation. The always fabulous Steve Kemble, America’s sassiest lifestyle guru, hosted the Vintage Martini fashion show with a running commentary that had the audience in stitches. DJ Tony Dean turned the energy up several notches for the last hour of the party to close out the night with contemporary dancing that left the crown wanting more long after last call.

The event also served as an announcement party and logo reveal for the organization’s signature spring gala – Bloomin Ball. With a new venue this year at the Renaissance Hotel, Dallas Light and Sound is looking forward to providing production services as AIN starts a second decade of spring fundraising events. Set for June 3rd, 2017, additional information will be forthcoming soon.
Dallas Light and Sound provided a concert quality audio system for the Hunter Sullivan Combo with Hunter delivering his era appropriate vocals on an Electrovoice “Raven” Microphone, one of several specialty mics in our inventory. Gobos on opposing walls and rotating on the dancefloor were augmented with flatscreen televisions to recognize sponsors, supply event branding, and convey beneficiary messaging.

Dallas Light and Sound for
After Black - the official Black Tie Dinner 2016 Afterparty

With more than three decades of history fueling enthusiasm and attendance, on Saturday, October 1st, Black Tie Dinner presented a blow-out bash at the Sheraton in Downtown Dallas. More than 3000 guests and volunteers celebrated 35 years of philanthropy by the organization with a memorable program of inspiration, recognition and entertainment. Titled “Believe in the Art of Equality”, a gorgeous crowd arrived ready to toast the success of one of the nation’s preeminent galas. Not only is Black Tie Dinner the largest and most successful seated dinner in the nation that supports the work of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, it also raises funds for a host of local, community organizations. The 2016 Black Tie Dinner featured Kuchling Award Winner Dr. Steven Pounders, Olympian Greg Louganis, actresses Connie Britten and Debra Messing, comedienne Dana Goldberg, entertainer Todrick Hall and the incredible vocals of Deborah Cox.

The incredible Deborah Cox performs one of her
biggest hits "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" at
After Black - the official Black Tie Dinner 2016 Afterparty.

Dallas Light and Sound provided event production services and resources focused around the event entrance, and the silent auction and after-party areas of the event. With audio, video, lighting and more for Before Back, After Black, and pre and intermission programming, we coordinated our efforts with Jarrod Freeman from the Black Tie Board of Directors and numerous other Board Members and volunteers.

Prior to 2016, the official after-party dubbed "After Black" took place in an area of the host hotel that was separate and apart from the main dinner ballroom and auction space. For 2016, event organizers combined the silent auction space with the after-party and specified a mid-event transformation of the room to provide immediate energy and continued silent auction bidding after the Dinner.

Custom designed and installed intelligent color changing uplighting from Dallas Light and Sound provided a base design palate for our team to build upon. A total of 12 intelligent moving head fixtures, ten flatscreens, six trussing arches, and a custom designed DJ booth from Dallas Light and Sound served as a framework for the afterparty. DLS Dancefloor lighting, hazers, fog cannons, and a killer sound system completed the space to produce a vibrant and memorable After Black. Gobo projectors delivered the “35 Years” branding message on white pipe and drape, on the ceiling and on the dancefloor.

It was an honor to be chosen as a production partner for
After Black - the official Black Tie Dinner 2016 Afterparty
at the organization's 35th dinner.

Grammy Award winning vocalist Deborah Cox graced the after party stage to perform one of her Billboard #1 hits – “Nobody’s Supposed to be Here”. DJ Blacklow was on hand to spin an energetic mix of HiNRG and contemporary dance that kept the crowd on their feet all night. The entire room was thumping and jumping as the Dallas Light and Sound nightclub quality sound system kept party goers in the mood for more beyond Last Call.
