ATLANTA (February 24, 2016)Lenox Square, an iconic shopping and lifestyle destination located in the heart of Buckhead, has collaborated with Atlanta photographer Ben Rose to introduce an intimate glimpse into high fashion in Atlanta. Beginning March 15 and located near the center’s new Gallery Entrance between Cartier and Escada in the Neiman Marcus wing, the exhibit dubbed “Striking Poses” will offer guests a front row seat to some of the city’s signature fashion events. Images will be featured from affairs such as the Annual Corps de Ballet Kick-off Luncheon, the Annual Forward Arts Foundation Fashion Show and Luncheon, the NBAF Annual “Fine Art + FASHION” Event and Jeffrey Fashion Cares Atlanta — all featuring looks from designers found at Lenox Square and its sister property, Phipps Plaza.

Lenox Square commissioned “Striking Poses” to showcase the city’s stronghold on world-class fashion and the designers who have committed their labels to Atlanta – all of whom call Simon’s Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza home. The photographs capture the essence of beauty, glamour and couture found both on the runway and backstage at the city’s leading fashion events. From graceful movements on the catwalk to intimate backstage moments captured seconds before models take the runway, Lenox Square has curated an exhibit of Rose’s work that will leave visitors intrigued and inspired by Atlanta’s burgeoning fashion scene.

 

An Atlanta native, Ben Rose has been behind the camera since 1999. What began as a part-time gig in college for parties, campus events and nightlife, has turned into a thriving career as a photographer for luxury brands, fine dining experiences and corporate clients. Rose has also established himself as one of the premier celebrity event photographers in Atlanta, shooting the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Oscar de la Renta, Manolo Blahnik, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Zac Posen, Miley Cyrus and more. He has been the lead event photographer at Jeffrey Fashion Cares Atlanta since 2009, an annual event now held at Phipps Plaza, and has shot national luxury retailers found at Buckhead’s Simon properties including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Jeffrey Atlanta, David Yurman, Cartier and Prada.
