Virgelia Productions, Inc. launched its premier project in Tokyo, Japan, on August 21, and Mark Gunter was there with his camera for the photo shoot.

The successful black-tie dinner and fashion show at the Hilton Hotel Tokyo was where approximately 400 of Tokyo’s socialites gathered to witness the latest couture collections of Los Angeles-based fashion designers Will Franco and Tommy Le.

Emceed by the legendary Tokyo-based Greg Irwin, models were serenaded by ballads and romantic violins as they walked the red carpet and showed off their exquisite gowns amid murmurs of delight.
