These talented artists are all represented by THEY and are shooting some of the hottest editorials & campaigns right now!
Stylist LEILA BANI was inspired by the ‘Boho-chic’ style of the Olsen twins to create these ‘poor little rich girl’ looks. The editorial was shot at an $18.4 million dollar penthouse designed by renowned architect OMAR ARBEL (thanks to BEN KIELB from SOTHEBY’S & BOCCI’s lighting).

It was a busy BC Fashion Week of shows & parties, with the much anticipated spring 2008 collection from CHRISTINA DARLING was presented on the main stage by THEY Representation, followed by THEY Rep’s much sought after photographic exhibit & cocktail party, featuring the works of:

DAVID ELLINGSEN, JOCELYN FORTIER, DEXTER QUINTO, & ODETTE SUGERMAN
