Fox Emmy Party

Working with Fox's Bob Stillo, Russell Harris Event Group produced the Fox Emmy party at Soleto Trattoria and Pizzaria in Los Angeles last September. The Russell Harris team described the event as having a "Restoration Hardware-esque" look, with design by Thomas Ford. A Ford-designed sculpture used old-fashioned sign letters, metal numbers, and plexiglass signage to represent the three hosting networks: Fox Broadcasting, 20th Century Fox, and the FX channel.

The Birthday Party Project’s Birthday Party

In January at the Bomb Factory in Dallas, the Birthday Party Project, which hosts monthly birthday parties at homeless and transitional living facilities across the country, celebrated its own birthday with help from Gifts for the Good Life. The design duo created the Joy Store, in collaboration with Emily Clarke Events, for the event, a pop-up fund-raising station that featured goods, including watches, hoodies, hats, and superhero costumes, for kids and adults with low price points, allowing all guests to participate.
