Derek Blasberg poses for a fun photo with his friend Kate Hudson while celebrating #movingLOVE, a series of films from YouTube and LOVE Magazine, on Sunday night (March 17) at the San Vicente Bungalows in Los Angeles.
The event was held after the series was recognized at the Daily Front Row’s Fifth Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards. The party continued at the event hosted by Derek, who is the Head of Fashion and Beauty at YouTube, and Katie Grand from LOVE Magazine.
Attendees included Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jaime King, Rachel Zoe, Joan Smalls, Rowan Blanchard, Bria Vinaite, Gia Coppola, Jacqui Getty, Kelly Sawyer, and YouTube star James Charles.
“Last year, Katie Grand and I launched a “moving image magazine” exclusively on @YouTube. The result: 54 videos with more than 15 million views and, all calculated, more than 24 million minutes of watch time. That works out to 44 years. That would be like if Bradley Cooper was born and then spent his entire life just watching this series,” Derek wrote on his Instagram account.
He added, “Thank you to @thelovemagazine for making it all happen, @dailyfrontrow for giving me and @kegrand the Creatives of the Year award last night, and the legendary @courtneylove for presenting it to us. It’s an incredible opportunity to close the gap between the world of fashion and the YouTube universe, and we’re having a ball doing it!”
