About the New Book
Beverly Johnson‘s new memoir, The Face That Changed it All, –written with contributions from Allison Samuels, and a forward by André Leon Talley— revels Johnson‘s own discoveries of truth through-out her remarkable life and journey with engaging, candor and heart-honesty. Tales from Johnson‘s childhood, growing up in Buffalo NY as a shy and studious child in a household of five siblings, lead progressively to Johnson‘s pursuit of a Law degree, while attending Northeastern University — and that unprecedented event of how her previous ambitions were overcome by a fast-paced career in modeling.
With around-the-clock parties at notorious Studio 54; as well as loves, friendships and rivals among the elite of the Fashion and Hollywood industry, readers can look forward to discovering Jonhson‘s interaction with: Jackie Kennedy, Halston, Calvin Klein, Andy Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Eddie Murphy, Jack Nicholson, Keith Richards, Warren Beatty, as well as fellow Supermodels, Iman, Naomi Sims, Janice Dickinson, Tyra Banks, and more.
Along with Johnson‘s take on a world of fashion and glamour, readers can also expect, as André Leon Talley describes, a true survivors tale of how Johnson, despite all of life’s unforeseen challenges, “amazingly managed to survive fame, celebrity, and all the damage it can do to the human soul.”

Welcome to DracoB.com‘s news & events coverage of this month’s exhibition, ‘The Reflected Eye.’ The work of photographer Anthony Barboza is currently being featured in TOTEM Creative‘s exhibition in collaboration with Dune Studios, a show specially curated by celebrated model agent, Patty Sicular.
In homage to over 50 years of the fashion industry’s most notable photographers, ‘The Reflected Eye’ reminds viewers of the artists who stand behind the lens.
The exhibition features portraits of such iconic photographers as Norman Parkinson, Melvin Sokolsky & Erwin Blumenfeld, while acknowledging some of the industry’s most new-to-nubile about the scene. Enhanced with a tie-in text titled “What makes a Photographer Sexy?” written by NYC gallirist, Steven Kasher, along with the curatorial assistance of NYC/Hamptons’ gallerist, Karen Boltax, ‘The Reflected Eye’ makes fresh observation how these spotlighted photographers honestly– exuberantly, sometimes humorously and even provocatively, present themselves before the camera.
Images from the Private Reception (which was held on May 19th) can be seen here, as well as links to official photographic coverage by BFA. ‘The Reflected Eye‘ is open to the public May 20thto June 30th on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11am to 4pm at Dune Studios on 121 Varick Street, 7th Floor.
‘The Reflected Eye’ exhibition includes work from: Rock-n-roll photographer Bob Gruen (photographer behind such legendary images of John Lennon, David Bowie, Mick Jagger & more); classic fashion, beauty photographer of VOGUE magazine, Arthur Elgort; Douglas Kirkland (the photographic eye behind such alluring & memorable images of Marilyn Monroe); and more..
…Ron Contarsy, Jerry Schatzberg, James Porto, Fernand Fonssagrives, Rankin, Patrick McMullan, Norman Parkinson, Ralph Gibson, Ted Allan, Horst P. Horst, Paul Hesse, Herbert Matter, Francesco Scavullo, Otto Fenn, Denis Piel, Platon, and Melvin Sokolsky…
