Kurv Magazine_Giuliano Bekor_Fonda_1

A few months ago, Giuliano was asked to shoot counter-culture icon (and one of my personal heroes) Peter Fonda (!!!) for Australian magazine Kurv. We spent the day laughing, listening to music, hanging out with his lovely wife, hearing amazing candid stories, and receiving an unexpected education about important environmental issues close to Mr. Fonda’s heart (for more on that, please visit www.peterfonda.com).

We’ve been patiently waiting to release the shots, and finally, the Kurv issue hit news stands this week. Check out a small selection of images below (wardrobe styling by Avo Yermagyan, grooming by Barbara Lamelza, and prop styling by Kim Pretti) with a few behind the scenes shots thrown in as well, and make sure to pick up a copy of Kurv! Now pardon me while I shamelessly take a moment to re-live my ultimate fan girl moment. :-) Continue reading →

Hollywood Glam

GIULIANOBEKOR_HAIR4How amazing did everyone look at the Oscars last night? We were loving the Hollywood glam throwback on some of the hottest celebrities that graced the red carpet. Jessica Chastain, Adele, Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Lawerence and Charlize Theron were some of our favorites rocking the classic old Hollywood look but with a modern twist. Being that we live in the heart of it all, we’re still feeling the energy and excitement over here at Lightbox Studio, and wanted to share with you some of our favorite Hollywood glam hair styles from one of Giuliano’s shoots with hair stylist and makeup artist Olaf Derlig. What were some of your favorite Oscar looks?  Continue reading →

Mad Men’s Trudy Campbell

Posted on by

 

Last night was the finale of Mad Men’s fifth season and we are going to miss Manhattan’s dapper ad-men. To bid adieu to our favorite drama, we remember the lovely Alison Brie, shot by Giuliano Bekor for ELLE Canada‘s April issue. The actress, also known as Mrs. Trudy Campbell, embodied the retro glamour that the show is known for starting with the cover shot: she wears a mint green dress by Vera Wang on the roof at the Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

The old Hollywood look was flawlessly achieved thanks to stylist Anita Patrickson and make-up artist, Sage Maitri, of The Wall Group. Alison’s beautiful hair styling was done by Robert Ramos and Gilbert Muniz of Cloutier Remix. We can’t forget those bright, spring nails by Debbie Leavitt of Cloutier Remix.

Alison’s beauty reminds us that Don Draper isn’t the only one we are going to be missing. We can’t wait for season six!

 

Happy Birthday, Marilyn Monroe!

Today we are focused on actress, model, singer, and arguably one of the most beautiful women to have walked the Earth, Marilyn Monroe. The sexy and talented leading lady is remembered most for her iconic fashion and retro glamour- defining the “Monroe-era” look that inspired this glamorous photo shoot by Giuliano Bekor. With blonde bombshells, sexy show-girls, and fluttering lashes, this collection embodies some of Marilyn’s biggest movies and most memorable characters. Her look- red lips, glossy skin, and thick liner- has been idolized by Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior, Jason Wu, Temperley London, Yves Saint Laurent during spring/summer fashion week. Marilyn Monroe is our star today, reminding us that our art continues to capture the epitome of allure and style as it has since June 1st, 1926. Happy Birthday, Marilyn Monroe!
